Abstract :
This paper proposes a globally distributed synchronization algorithm for wireless sensor networks. In the proposed scheme, there is a master node that controls the network synchronization and the other sensors periodically broadcast synchronization pulses; they also monitor different frequency channels in an effort to overcome the effect of channel fading.
