A Robust Time Synchronization Scheme for Industrial Internet of Things
Abstrak
Energy-efficient and robust-time synchronization is crucial for industrial Internet of things (IIoT). Some energy-efficient time synchronization schemes that achieve high accuracy have been proposed recently. However, some unsynchronized nodes namely isolated nodes exist in the schemes. To deal with the problem, this paper presents R-Sync, a robust time synchronization scheme for IIoT. We use a pulling timer to pull isolated nodes into synchronized networks whose initial value is set according to level of spanning tree. Then, another timer is set up to select backbone node and its initial value is related to the distance to parent node. Moreover, we do experiments based on simulation tool NS-2 and testbed based on wireless hardware nodes. The experimental results show that our approach makes all the nodes get synchronized and gets the better performance in terms of accuracy and energy consumption, compared with three existing time synchronization algorithms TPSN, GPA, STETS.
