Abstract:

A time slot co synchronization algorithm for modifying the local time slot reference is proposed, the algorithm is using the time slot deviations of neighbor nodes to calculate the slot adjustment. Then a slot deviation computing method under the condition of signal propagation delay is presented and the convergence of this algorithm is proved. Finally, the simulation results of the algorithm for different scenarios are given. Experiments show that this algorithm has fast convergence rate and less computation burden due to the parallel co computed by each node. Hence, it is very suitable to run on Ad Hoc terminal nodes.
