This paper studies the fundamental problem of clock synchronization in IEEE 802.11-based multihop ad hoc networks. Clock synchronization is important for power saving, network throughput and many basic operations of 802.11 protocols in a multihop ad hoc network (MANET). The scalability problem of 802.11 timing synchronization has been studied extensively in single hop ad hoc networks and good solutions...
Clock synchronization is a crucial basic service in ad-hoc sensor networks. Most proposed algorithms employ hierarchical communication structures that may be expensive to maintain when nodes are mobile and network topologies are dynamic. Interval-based synchronization has been proposed as particularly suited for sensor networks, as it does not require any particular communication pattern. In this...
The existing time synchronization schemes in sensor networks were not designed with security in mind, thus leaving them vulnerable to security attacks. In this paper, we first identify various attacks that are effective to several representative time synchronization schemes, and then focus on a specific type of attack called delay attack, which cannot be addressed by cryptographic techniques. Next...
This paper presents McTorrent and McSynch, two multichannel sensor network protocols for data dissemination. Both protocols are designed to take advantage of the spatial multiplexing properties of the half-duplex radio transceivers available on the current generation of sensor nodes. McTorrent is used for reliable end-to-end dissemination of a large data object. Compared to existing protocols, we...
