We present a technique for synchronizing clocks over a wireless link between a pair of resource constrained nodes. A Kalman filter is used as a pre-processor to a PI controller to mitigate the effects of packet-losses and attenuate noise spikes. This Kalman filter directly tracks the skew, which is the rate of change of offset, between a pair of nodes. The PI controller accepts this skew as input and disciplines the clock on the follower node. Experimental results demonstrate the performance of this technique over a single hop. In the future, this technique can be extended to multihop systems and improve determinism in networked embedded systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
