In IoT(Internet of Things), it is important for wireless networks to communicate data created among resource-constrained wireless nodes, where time synchronization is needed for meaningful data creation and transmission. Time Synchronization by flooding is one of the mostly used protocols for WSN(Wireless Sensor Networks). Even though this type of scheme has some advantages over other types (i.e. a simple algorithm and independency of topology and so on), too many data transmission is required, leading to large power consumption. So, reducing transmission data is an important issue for energy efficiency in this kind of networks. In this paper, a new Flooding-based time synchronization protocol is proposed to use energy efficiently by reducing a transmitted traffic. The proposed scheme's performance has been evaluated and compared with an representative scheme, FTSP(Flooding Time Synchronization Protocol) by simulation. The results are shown that the proposed scheme is better than FTSP.

In the distributed multimedia document system, media objects distributed over a computer network are retrieved from their sources and presented to users according to specified temporal relations. For effective presentation, synchronization has to be supported. Furthermore, since the presentation in the distributed environment is influenced by the network bandwidth and delay, they should be considered for synchronization. This paper proposes a distributed multimedia presentation system that performs presentation effectively in the distributed environment. And it also suggests a method to supports synchronization, in which, network situation and resources are monitored when media objects are transferred from servers to a client. Then a feedback message for the change of them is sent to the server so that the server might adjust the data sending rate to control synchronization. To monitor the situation of network, we use two methods together. One is to manage the level of the buffer by setting thresholds on a buffer and the other is to check the difference between the sending time of a packet from the server and the arrival time of the packet to the client.

The GIS service has to provide latest spatio-temporal data for the effective service. The two-way synchronization scheme collects updated spatio-temporal data in the field and synchronizes with a server by using the wireless network. However, since the two-way synchronization scheme processes sequentially synchronizing work of clients, it has the problem that the synchronization of multiple clients takes long time. In this paper, we propose the concurrent synchronizations scheme based on the multi-queue in order to reduce the waiting time of multiple clients. We also build both schemes and evaulate the performance test. The results show that the proposed scheme reduce the waiting time by 31%.

In OFDMA-based wireless mesh networks, synchronization of carrier frequencies among adjacent nodes is known to be difficult. In this paper, a distributed synchronization technique is proposed to solve the synchronization problem in OFDMA-based wireless mesh networks by using the bio-inspired algorithm. In the proposed approach, carrier frequencies of all nodes in a mesh network are converged into one frequency by locally synchronizing the frequencies of adjacent nodes. It may take a long time to be converged in some topologies since the convergence characteristic of carrier frequencies in a mesh network may vary depending on the size of the network and deployment of nodes. It is shown that fast frequency synchronization, not heavily depending on the topology, can be achieved through the proposed algorithm with an adjustable weight.

In RFID-based SCM, The traceability and product information is the important target data. In this paper, efficient items traceability model and the integrated model of the product between RFID network and GDS(Global Data Synchronization) network are studied. Information consists of the dynamic data generated from RFID network and static data generated from GDS Network. The integrated model will provide the interoperability between 2 kinds of networks.

By growth of digital media devices, a number of researches are in progress for transmission of isochronous traffic over network. Above all, network techniques that apply Ethernet, are in the limelight because of advantages of Ethernet. A standardization of network technique for isochronous traffic over Ethernet is in progress in IEEE 802.1 AVB TG. This paper proposed network technique for isochronous traffic over Ethernet model, that is, synchronous Ethernet model with synchronization method between devices. And this paper proposed bandwidth reservation method for transmission of isochronous traffic in synchronized devices. In this paper, synchronous Ethernet model is implemented through OPNET, efficiency of proposed methods is analyzed.

It is possible to synchronize the spatio-temporal data with a server using a wireless network. These data has the benefit to be up-to-date and able to service to the user efficiently. However, the mobile devices or the wireless network are very vulnerable to various hard or soft failures. If an failure occurs during a synchronization process, the spatio-temporal data which is synchronizing could be inconsistent state. In this paper, we propose the recovery scheme to solve the problem caused by the errors which occur during the synchronization on mobile environments. The proposed scheme writes the log records for the synchronization process into the both local storages of the server and the mobile client. When the errors arise, the data which are synchronizing are recovered using the written log records. Also, we design and implement the proposed recovery scheme on the synchronization system.

In this paper, we propose and analyze a novel synchronization scheme for ubiquitous home network system. In ubiquitous home network system, synchronization method is very important because many consumer electronic devices send the data simultaneously to each other through infrastructure such as access point. We employ digital watermarking sequence to improve synchronization performance without system overhead. The performance of proposed scheme is analyzed in terms of correlation performance. The results of the paper can be applied to design of various applications for ubiquitous home network systems.

최근 차량 네트워크를 통한 각종 서비스가 주목 받고 있으며 그 중 안전 서비스나 안전 서비스 어플리케이션 등의 테스트와 테스트를 위한 테스트베드에 대한 필요성이 생기고 있다. 본 논문은 네트워크 시뮬레이터와 교통 시뮬레이터 간의 연동을 통하여 실제 차량 통신 환경과 유사한 시나리오를 시뮬레이션 할 수 있도록 구현 하였다. 네트워크 시뮬레이터에서는 실제 차량의 이동성을 충분히 반영하기가 어렵고 대단위의 시나리오를 생성하기 어렵기 때문에 네트워크 시뮬레이터에 차량 이동성 정보 생성을 위하여 교통 시뮬레이터에서 생성 된 정보를 사용 할 수 있도록 하였다. 이러한 서로 다른 시뮬레이터간의 연동은 동기화의 문제가 존재하게 되는데 본 논문에서는 이를 해결하기 위한 각기 다른 세 가지의 동기화 방식을 연구 하였다.

In wireless sensor networks Time synchronization used to be performed after routing tree is constructed. It results in increasing the number of packets and energy consumption. In this paper, we propose a time synchronization algorithm combined with flooding routing tree construction algorithm, which applies LTS (Lightweight Time Synchronization) information packed into the forwarding and backward routing packets. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm compensates the time error due to clock drift using the round time with fixed period. We prove that the proposed algorithm could synchronize the time of among sensor nodes more accurately compared to TSRA (Time Synchronization Routing Algorithm) using NS2 simulation tool.
