摘要：AbstractAgreeing on a common time is essential to many coordinated tasks in wireless networks, but this is difficult to accomplish when each agent only has access to a local hardware clock. Therefore, clock synchronization is essential in order to carry out many of these coordinated tasks. While there are numerous existing algorithms for clock synchronization, many result in disruptive discontinuous virtual clocks, and most rely on regular communication, which does not scale with large systems. Instead, this paper presents a novel clock synchronization algorithm, which allows for a continuous virtual clock, with a dynamic event-triggered communication strategy which is strongly non-Zeno because it guarantees a designable positive time between communication instances.
