Research on clock synchronization of wireless distributed measurement system

Release of IEEE1588 improves the clock synchronization accuracy greatly, which makes sensors, actuators and other terminals share unique time reference, and assures the clock synchronization quality of different terminals. This paper researches on clock synchronization of wireless distributed measurement system based on IEEE1588 standard. A typical network topology of IEEE1588 standard is provided in this paper, and the clock synchronization accuracy is presented based on this topology through simulation. Simulation results are provided and analyzed, which are worth of reference on the application of IEEE1588 on wireless distributed measurement system.
