Abstract
Reference Broadcast Synchronization (RBS) is one of the most prominent synchronization protocols in wireless sensor network. Given that the broadcasting medium is available, RBS can give very high accuracy of synchronization. However, the protocol lacks packet loss tolerance, which brings about degraded performance in severe conditions of wireless channel. In this paper, the effect of packet loss on the performance of RBS was examined. Then, a packet loss tolerance for RBS was proposed and the result was verified through simulations.
