Abstract :
Time synchronization is a critical piece of infrastructure for wireless sensor networks. The existing time synchronization protocols such as GPS and NTP require powerful hardware to support aren´t fit to sensor network. This paper analyzes the characteristic of sensor network, propose a time synchronization algorithm based on local level structure. Experiment shows that this method is feasible and can be used to wireless sensor networks.
