Summary
Wireless sensor networks have been employed in a wide range of industry thanks to the benefits of mobility, flexibility and low cost. However, the unreliability of wireless networks is a great challenge to be used in feedback control. In order to offer reliable and deterministic wireless communications, time-triggered mechanisms are commonly used. This paper presents a fault-tolerant clock synchronization method that can be used for a time-triggered wireless network. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through a set of experiments.
