Pulse-Coupled Discrete-Time Phase Locked Loops For Wireless Networks

摘要

A model of a pulse-coupled discrete-time phase locked loops (PLLs) in a wireless network is provided. The PLLs at each node in the network may have an indeterminate order. A method for securing discrete-time distributed phase locked loops (PLLs) in a wireless network by including an outlier detection scheme in the timing update at each node is also provided. The method may include evaluating each collaborating node based on a weighted average of the clock errors and evaluating the dispersion of clock errors.
