Time synchronization is essential in telecommunication networks and a variety of other fields and applications. There a number of coordination architectures that are widely used to achieve time synchronization in a network. In this project, a model of clock synchronization and a wireless coordination testbed are built to compare the performance of synchronization architectures, algorithms, and hardware. The testbed measures, predicts, and compensates for timing offset and drift between spatially separated systems.
