"consensus time" is an acceptable phrase in written English.
It means a time that is mutually agreed upon by all parties for a particular purpose or activity. For example, "We must come to a consensus time for the start of the meeting."
This motivates the design of multi-hop consensus time synchronization algorithm for sparse WSNs.
In this paper, we have proposed a multi-hop consensus time synchronization algorithm, multi-hop Selective Average Time Synchronization (SATS), for sparse and multi-hop WSNs.
Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms some recent, state-of-the-art one-hop consensus time synchronization algorithms within a restricted hop count.
The idealism of the moment needs to express itself in a way commensurate with its own principles, by establishing dialogue, building community and giving standards and consensus time to develop.
The recent consensus time synchronization algorithms designed for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are mostly one-hop in nature, i.e., every node communicates with its one-hop neighbors and performs clock parameters averaging to reach to the consensus or synchronized state.
One important class of such algorithms is referred to as distributed consensus time synchronization (DCTS) [6].
Unlike consensus time-of-use tariff scheme applying identical cheap-tariff time to all individual PEVs, the novel schemes artfully stagger their cheap-tariff times for different PEV-groups, thereby differentiating themselves among PEV-groups.
Baxter, G., Blythe, R. & McKane, A. Fixation and consensus times on a network: A unified approach.
We now define the disagreement vector as, which indicates the difference between the updated times and the global consensus times of the network nodes.
Li and Zhang [18 20] considered the continuous-time average consensus with time-varying topologies and communication noises, where time-varying consensus gains are adopted.
Furthermore, compared with the initial-condition based finite-time consensus, the settling time is bounded by a constant within fixed-time regardless of the initial condition.
