Objective and design
goals
The design of a NTS algorithm for wireless Ad Hoc
networks with the following
characteristics:
qAccurate enough to allow for time-slotted MAC protocol
construction (i.e., msec accuracy)
qScalable
qSimple to implement
(Three of the important features a NTS algorithm tailored for Wireless
Ad Hoc networks should possess are:)
qNon-hierarchical
and autonomous
qConvergent
qDistributed
