Abstract
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) can take advantage of versatility, completeness, and low prices of standard wireless protocols; Bluetooth as we show later is a candidate suitable for WSNs. The fusion of data collected over a WSN is just an evident application of time synchronization. Bringing together these two issues, we find that synchronization using standard protocols poses an important drawback. In this paper, we present a simple method that allows clock synchronization in Bluetooth WSNs, down to few microseconds.
