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 …

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 …

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 …

Clock synchronization is an essential building block for many control mechanisms used in
wireless networks, including frequency hopping, power management, and packet …

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 …

This paper studies a fundamental problem, clock synchronization, in IEEE 802.11 ad hoc
networks. Clock synchronization is important for frequent hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) …

The lack of provisioning of synchronized timing support from known timing standards in IEEE
802.11 wireless networks has been overcome in IEEE 802.11-2012 through the timing …

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 …

The absence of built-in clock synchronization support for IEEE 802.11 networks has been a
concern for industrial applications which are seeking to use wireless networking on the …
