Time Synchronization in Ad Hoc Networks
Overview Ubiquitous computing environments are typically based upon ad hoc networks of mobile computing devices. These devices may be equipped with sensor hardware to sense the physical environment and may be attached to real world artifacts to form so-called smart things. The data sensed by various smart things can then be combined to derive knowledge about the environment, which in turn enables the smart things to "React" intelligently to their environment. For this so - called sensor fusion, temporal relationships (X happened before Y) and real - time issues (X and Y happened within a certain time interval) play an important role. Thus physical time and clock synchronization are crucial in such environments.
