Abstract

The invention discloses a high-accuracy clock synchronization method of a wireless sensor network. An upper computer and a gateway in the wireless sensor network are connected through the Ethernet; the gateway is connected with each cluster head node in the wireless sensor network through a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) wireless network; the cluster head nodes are connected with sensor nodes through a Zigbee wireless network; during data sending and receiving of the cluster head nodes and the sensor nodes, the transmission time of data on a media access control (MAC) layer and a physical layer serves as accurate sending/receiving time; during synchronization, all cluster head nodes are synchronized by using a global positioning system (GPS) module, and then all sensor nodes in clusters are subjected to clock synchronization through the Zigbee wireless network by using the cluster head nodes; and the synchronization of the sensor nodes comprises clock offset synchronization and transmission delay synchronization between the cluster head nodes and the sensor nodes. By adoption of the method, cost and energy consumption can be reduced, and a synchronization process is simple to calculate.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wireless sensor network synchronization, in particular to a high-precision clock synchronization method for a wireless sensor network. Background technique [0002] With the development of computer networks, more and more industrial fields have put forward higher requirements for clock synchronization, especially in most distributed control systems based on industrial Ethernet, microseconds have been proposed for clock synchronization Level synchronization requirements. [0003] Wireless sensor network (WSN) refers to an autonomous measurement and control network system that is composed of a large number of ubiquitous tiny sensor nodes with communication and computing capabilities densely distributed in the monitoring area and independently completes specified tasks according to the environment. [0004] Time synchronization is an important part of wireless sensor network applications. Sensor data fusion...
