Design and Simulation of Clock Synchronization Algorithm for Mobile Ad hoc Network

This paper gives brief introduction about clock synchronization in wireless mobile ad-hoc networks. Here we will discuss about the clock synchronization problem and scalability of MANETs. Also we will discuss about the major scopes for synchronization in MANETs. We will discuss various algorithms proposed as solutions for the problem of clock synchronization in MANETs. Here we will discuss about TSF (timing synchronization function), MASP (Modified automatic self-timing procedure). At last we will compare the results for the throughput, end to end delay and energy parameters which are very important for the efficient utilization of the wireless adhoc networks.
