Estimating Clock Skew With One-Way Timestamps

Abstract

Clock skew estimation is the principal task for time synchronization in wireless network systems. Most of the contemporary techniques require two-way exchanging timestamps, which face big challenges due to the limitation of network hierarchy and topology management. In contrast, we propose a novel optimization process based on the one-way broadcast model. Extensive simulations on various datasets demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method compared to other state-of-the-arts.
