Abstract :
Previous studies on clock synchronization problem have resulted in diverse techniques ranging from computationally expensive to simple statistical methods. The common conclusion from this investigation has been the classic complexity-performance tradeoff. This research presents a synchronization scheme that is computationally simpler and robust to the underlying network delay density function.
