  • Temperature Compensated Time Synchronization
    IEEE Embedded Systems Letters, 2009
    Co-Authors: Thomas Schmid, Zainul Charbiwala, Roy Shea, Mani Srivastava
    Abstract:

    Time Synchronization in embedded sensor networks is an important service for correlating data between nodes and communication scheduling. While many different approaches to the problem are possible, one major effect of clock frequency difference between nodes, environmental temperature changes, has often been left out of the solution. The common assumption that the temperature is static over a certain period of Time is often used as an excuse to assume constant frequency errors in a clock. This assumption forces Synchronization protocols to resynchronize too often. While there exists hardware solutions to this problem, their prohibitive high cost and power consumption make them unsuitable for some applications, such as wireless sensor networks. Temperature compensated Time Synchronization (TCTS) exploits the on-board temperature sensor existing in many sensor network platforms. It uses this temperature sensor to autonomously calibrate the local oscillator and removes effects of environmental temperature changes. This allows a Time Synchronization protocol to increase its reSynchronization period, without loosing Synchronization accuracy, and thus saves energy and communication overhead. In addition, TCTS provides a stable clock source when radio communication is impaired. We present the theory behind TCTS, and provide initial results of a simulated comparison of TCTS and the flooding Time Synchronization protocol.

  • Secure Time Synchronization in Sensor Networks
    ACM Transactions on Information and System Security, 2008
    Co-Authors: Saurabh Ganeriwal, Christina Pöpper, Srdjan Capkun, Mani Srivastava
    Abstract:

    Time Synchronization is critical in sensor networks at many layers of their design. It enables better duty-cycling of the radio, accurate and secure localization, beamforming, and other collaborative signal processing tasks. These benefits make Time-Synchronization protocols a prime target of malicious adversaries who want to disrupt the normal operation of a sensor network. In this article, we analyze attacks on existing Time Synchronization protocols for wireless sensor networks and we propose a secure Time Synchronization toolbox to counter these attacks. This toolbox includes protocols for secure pairwise and group Synchronization of nodes that either lie in the neighborhood of each other or are separated by multiple hops. We provide an in-depth analysis of the security and the energy overhead of the proposed protocols. The efficiency of these protocols has been tested through an experimental study on Mica2 motes.

  • secure Time Synchronization service for sensor networks
    Workshop on Wireless Security, 2005
    Co-Authors: Saurabh Ganeriwal, Srdjan Capkun, Chihchieh Han, Mani Srivastava
    Abstract:

    In this paper, we analyze attacks on existing Time Synchronization protocols for wireless sensor networks. We propose a secure Time Synchronization toolbox to counter these attacks. This toolbox includes protocols for secure pairwise and group Synchronization of nodes that lie in each other's power ranges and of nodes that are separated by multiple hops. We provide an in-depth analysis of security and energy overhead of the proposed protocols.

  • Analysis of Time Synchronization System
    DEStech Transactions on Computer Science and Engineering, 2018
    Co-Authors: Bing Chen, Hui-cai Tao
    Abstract:

    Modern technology has more and more demands on the Synchronization of Time and the precision of Time service with the development of society and science and technology. The satellite Time Synchronization local Time has become one of the main methods of Time service at home and abroad. Beidou satellite navigation system is China's self-developed global satellite navigation system, became the third sophisticated satellite navigation system after the United States global positioning system and the Russian GLONASS satellite navigation system. This paper mainly studies the satellite timing system of the Time Synchronization system, which uses dual signal source of Beidou and GPS. It is not dependent on any single satellite Synchronization system. Therefore, the stability of the Time Synchronization system is very high.
