| Objective and design goals |
|
|
| The design
of a Network Synchronization algorithm for minimum- |
|
| infrastructure
wireless 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 NS algorithm tailored for Wireless |
|
| Ad Hoc
networks should possess are:) |
|
|
|
|
| q | Non-hierarchical
and autonomous |
|
|
|
|
| q | Convergent |
