The UC Berkeley require a scalable time synchronization service Mica2 and Mica2Dot motes are popular research enabling data consistency and coordination. This platforms of this emerging technology [10]. paper introduces the robust Flooding Time Synchronization Protocol (FTSP), especially Complex networks built from thousands of such tailored f or applications requiring stringent devices are expected to affect many aspects of our precision on resource limited wireless platforms. lives. The potential applications of wireless sensor The proposed time synchronization protocol networks (WSN) include: utilizes low communication bandwidth, scales Monitoring applications : Non-intrusive and non- well for med
