Abstract
The present invention relates to a frequency offset estimation method for average consensus-based clock synchronization, and belongs to the technical field of wireless sensor networks. According to the method, in combination with distributed one-way broadcast characteristics, solving of maximum likelihood estimation is converted into a linear optimization problem, and a relative frequency offset estimation value is obtained by adopting an iterative method. By applying the estimation value to the compensation of logic clock parameter between nodes, an effect of keeping logic clocks of network nodes consistent can be achieved. According to the present invention, distribution characteristics of communication time delay are fully considered, accurate relative frequency offset estimation can be implemented, so the synchronization precision of average consensus-based clock synchronization is effectively improved, the maximum likelihood estimation solving is performed by adopting the iterative method, an estimation algorithm is simplified, and storage overhead is reduced.
