Distributed Probabilistic Synchronization Algorithms for Communication Networks
Akar, Mehmet and Shorten, Robert (2008) Distributed Probabilistic Synchronization Algorithms for Communication Networks. IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 53 (1). pp. 389-393. ISSN 0018-9286 AbstractIn this paper, we present a probabilistic synchronization algorithm
whose convergence properties are examined using tools of rowstochastic
matrices. The proposed algorithm is particularly well suited for
wireless sensor network applications, where connectivity is not guaranteed
at all times, and energy efficiency is an important design consideration. The
tradeoff between the convergence speed and the energy use is studied. | Additional Information: | Postprint version of original published article. The definitive version of this article is available at http://ieeexplore.ieee.org. DOI: 10.1109/TAC.2007.914224 |
