Clock synchronization is one of the enabling technologies for real-time networking. This
paper is motivated by the need for WLAN support of real-time factory automation networks …

IEEE 1588 is a standard for precise clock synchronization for networked measurement and
control systems in LAN environment. This paper presents the design and implementation of …

Packet-based clock synchronization protocols, such as IEEE 1588, depend on the quality of
the timestamps taken at the reception and transmission of packets. As software-based …

Between the wired and the wireless world a synchronization gap in terms of accuracy
obviously exists due to the different possibilities of the technologies. This paper investigates …

The possibility of equipping devices on the factory floor with wireless communication has
brought up new applications and challenges. Among one of these challenges is clock …

The most recent version of the IEEE 802.11 standard, 802.11-2012 has extended the means
of clock synchronization for wireless LANs. One of the mechanisms in the standard is called …

High-precision clock synchronization is one of the most basic requirements in distributed
real-time systems. This paper presents an enhanced clock synchronization protocol for …

IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Networks are an appealing complement, if not an
alternative, to Ethernet-based industrial solutions because it not only can match Ethernet's …

Just like Ethernet before, IEEE 802.11 is now transcending the borders of its usage from the
office environment toward real-time communication on the factory floor. However, similar to …

The introduction of the precision time protocol has brought forth the possibility to have a
standardised synchronization mechanism in networks, independent from the actual …
