HyNTP: A Distributed Hybrid Algorithm for Time Synchronization

This paper presents a distributed hybrid algorithm that synchronizes the time and rate of set clocks connected over network. Clock measurements nodes are given at aperiodic instants controller each node uses these to achieve synchronization. Due continuous impulsive nature network, we introduce system model effectively capture dynamics proposed algorithm. Moreover, allows agent estimate skew its internal clock in order allow for synchronization common timer rate. We provide sufficient conditions guaranteeing timers, exponentially fast, with robustness. Numerical results illustrate property induced by as well performance against comparable algorithms from literature.
