This paper reports a study and practical evaluation of two different clock synchronization methods for distributed measurement and control nodes based on Linux Single Board Computers (SBCs) with ARM processors and communicating through a TCP/IP wide area network. First the Network Time Protocol (NTP) is configured and evaluated in different network scenarios. The second solution is a specific development...
This article deals with transmission of Precision Time Protocol (PTP) over SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) network. Precision Time Protocol described in standard IEEE 1588 — Standard for a Precision Clock Synchronization Protocol for Networked Measurement and Control Systems — is a protocol for synchronization in packet networks. This article discusses the transmission of Ethernet synchronization...
This paper discusses a device, the spider transparent clock, which can be used to retrofit existing bridges and routers to allow them to deliver highly accurate time using the IEEE 1588 protocol. The spider transparent clock corrects for the internal queuing jitter and asymmetry introduced by these bridges and routers.
This paper describes clock synchronization requirements for a modern military and crisis management sensor network. This paper also presents a network architecture utilizing IEEE 1588 implemented for sensor network use and some solutions selected to complete the special requirements. The requirements for the sensor network presented in the paper relate to clock synchronization accuracy, availability...
Time synchronization in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is essential to coordinate activities distributed among different nodes. In recent years many protocols have been proposed to achieve high-accuracy synchronization. However, up to now only few researchers focused their attention on the issue of trading the number of periodic synchronization events for target accuracy. In fact, the synchronization...
Time and frequency alignment is critical for ensuring QoS for applications such as voice, real-time video, wireless hand-off, and data over a converged access medium. To satisfy the accuracy of time synchronization, propagation delay measurement is required between time-sensitive devices. There is existing network technology for time synchronization, such as network time protocol (NTP), IEEE 1588...
We propose QUEST (QUality ESTimation), a new method that accurately estimates IEEE 802.11 wireless link quality with no in-band signaling overhead. Existing link quality estimation methods either are based on hello exchanges by fixing or varying transmission rates or rely on the history (e.g., delivery ratio) of previously sent data packets in a per-rate/-neighbor manner. QUEST on the other hand,...
