A fundamental issue of the vehicular digital twin (DT) is efficiently synchronizing the data
between the DT and the vehicular user (VUE). In this paper, we consider the heterogeneous …

Digital twin (DT) has emerged as a promising technology to create digital replicas of
physical vehicles to facilitate driving in Internet of Vehicles (IoV). However, due to the …

The time synchronization in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) has gained significant
attention in recent times. In this paper, we focus on the time synchronization in large-scale …

Distributed desynchronization algorithms are key to wireless sensor networks as they allow
for medium access control in a decentralized manner. In this paper, we view …

Time synchronization in communication networks provides a common time frame among all
nodes, thus supporting various network functions such as message transmission, channel …

This paper studies the synchronization problem for mobile cellular device-to-device (D2D)
networks. Depending on the number of devices that are in coverage of the base station, the …

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), similar to other distributed systems, often require a
scalable time synchronization service enabling data consistency and coordination. In this …

This article presents a novel technique for terminal-time synchronization of multivehicle
systems. Taking sampled-data communications into account, the terminal-time …

The software defined heterogeneous vehicular networks (SD-HetVNETs), which consist of
cellular base stations (CBSs) and roadside units (RSUs), have emerged as a promising …

Metaverse, also known as the Internet of 3-D worlds, has recently attracted much attention
from both academia and industry. Each virtual subworld, operated by a virtual service …
