Abstract
In order to monitor in large area of a ship without any concerns of spacial environments, there can be the use of many sensors that support wireless network technologies. Through the deployment of the wireless sensors and their autonomous network formations, the status of a ship can be easily monitored in real time. Moreover, if all the sensors are timely synchronized with each other, the locations and the moving directions of certain events can be estimated. Thus, the time synchronization amongst wireless sensors are crucial. In this paper, we propose an algorithm which supports reduced message transmissions between the sensors for synchronization.
