| Objective and design goals |
|
|
| The
design of a NTS algorithm for wireless Ad Hoc networks with the |
|
| following
characteristics: |
|
|
|
|
|
| q | Accurate
enough to allow for time-slotted MAC protocol construction |
||
| (i.e.,
sec accuracy) |
|||
|
|
|
| q | Scalable |
|
|
|
|
| q | Simple
to implement |
|
|
|
| (Three
of the important features a NTS algorithm tailored for Wireless |
|
| Ad Hoc
networks should possess are:) |
|
|
|
|
| q | Non-hierarchical
and autonomous |
|
|
|
|
| q | Convergent |
|
|
|
|
| q | Distributed |
