Abstract
The present invention relates to a timestamp-free synchronization clock parameter tracking method based on extended Kalman filter, and belongs to the technical field of wireless sensor networks. With a first order Gauss Markov model and a clock model as a state equation, evolution processes of clock skew and instantaneous clock offset is described. Then an observation equation constituted by observation models of timestamp-free synchronization and instantaneous clock offset is established, and clock skew and instantaneous clock offset are jointly tracked by a tracking method based on extended Kalman filter to realize synchronization between a node to be synchronized and a reference clock node. The method can track two time-varying parameters simultaneously by following a network data flow without needing a dedicated synchronization frame to exchange synchronization information, which reduces energy consumption and improves synchronization precision.
