Time-Synchronous Sampling in Wireless Sensor Networks

Jürgen Funck, Clemens Gühmann

Abstract

A large variety of time synchronization protocols for wireless sensor networks has been suggested. Yet, setting up a sensor network for synchronized data acquisition based on those algorithms is not a trivial task.<BR />This paper outlines two different approaches to time synchronous sampling in wireless sensor networks, discusses their advantages and disadvantages and gives recommendations on when to chose which approach.
