The asymptotic expectation and mean square of the global synchronization error are computed. The results lead to the definition of a time delay balanced network in which average timing consensus between nodes can be achieved despite random delays. Several structured network architectures are studied as examples and their associated simulation results are used to validate analytical findings. Copyright 2009 G. Xiong and S. Kishore.

Introduction Wireless sensor networks are typically comprised of inexpensive small-sized power-limited terminals. In a variety of applications sensor nodes are required to maintain accurate time synchronization for example moving object tracking reconnaissance and surveillance environmental monitoring and so forth 1 . This necessitates algorithms that achieve and maintain global time synchronization at all network nodes that is algorithms that align all nodes to a common notion of time. Due to imperfections in low-cost hardware nodes and the decentralized nature of wireless sensor networks global .
