Year: 2005

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: OF THE DISSERTATION University of California, Los Angeles, 2003 Professor Deborah L. Estrin, Chair active research in large-scale networks of small, wireless, low-power sensors and actuators. Time synchronization is a critical piece of infrastructure in any dis- tributed system, but wireless sensor networks make particularly extensive use physical world. However, while the clock accuracy and precision requirements are often stricter in sensor networks than in traditional distributed systems, energy and channel constraints limit the resources available to meet these goals.
