Abstract
In this paper a new distributed clock synchronization algorithm for wireless multihop ad hoc network is presented. The algorithm is based on TSF (Timing Synchronization Function) used in IEEE 802.11. We extended TSF with determination of propagation delay between neighbors. This is especially important for wide-range networks where propagation delays can be significant. The performance analysis of the protocol is carried out with a simulation model.
