Περίληψη | Time information is critical for a variety of
applications in distributed environments that facilitate pervasive
computing and communication. This work describes
and evaluates a novel Kalman filtering algorithm for endto-end
time synchronization between a client computer and
a server of “true” time [e.g., a Global Positioning System
(GPS) source] using messages transmitted over packetswitched
networks, such as the internet. The messages exchanged
have the network time protocol (NTP) format, and
the algorithm evaluated, is performed only at the client
side. The Kalman filtering algorithm is compared to two
other techniques widely used, based on linear programming
and statistical averaging, and the experiments involve independent
consecutive measurements (Gaussian case) or measurements
exhibiting long-range dependence (self-similar
case). Performance is evaluated according to the estimation
error of frequency offset and time offset between client
and server clock, the standard deviation of the estimates
and the number of packets used for a specific estimation.
The algorithms could exploit existing NTP infrastructure,
and a specific example is presented. | en |
