Why do we need synchronization in communication?
Timing synchronization plays an important role in recovering the original transmitted signal in telecommunication systems. In order to have a communication system that operates at the correct time and in the correct order, it is necessary to synchronize to the transmitter's symbol timing.
What method of time synchronization should be used if high accuracy is required?
However, for applications such as power event analysis or protection coordination studies, that require high absolute and relative time accuracy, you need to use other time synchronization methods for the devices, such as PTP or GPS time synchronization.
What is synchronization in wireless sensor networks?
Wireless time synchronization is used for many different purposes including location, proximity, energy efficiency, and mobility to name a few. In sensor networks when the nodes are deployed, their exact location is not known so time synchronization is used to determine their location.
