Master Synchronization in Physical-Layer Communications of Wireless Sensor Networks

Synchronization in physical layer of wireless sensor networks is critical in restricting complexity of tag node and power consumption. Considering the master-to-tag communication (i.e., receiving signal from a master or anchor node by tag nodes), we propose a scheme on the basis of the principles of feedback control, to transfer the signal acquisition functionality from the tag receivers to the...

Synchronization in Digital Communications Networks

The general aspects of timing and synchronization in digital communications networks are reviewed. The properties of the links and nodes carrying and switching time-multiplexed digital signals determine the throughput and performance of a network. The continuity and integrity conditions for the digital information flow, where timing faults cause errors and loss of information determine the requ...

Polarization in Wireless Communications

Wireless communications exploits the electromagneticmedium,which is intrinsically polarization-sensitive. Much wireless technology, however, has been devised without explicit consideration of polarization. Past decades of wireless technology has mainly exploited the dimensions of time, frequency and space. As such, polarization is a logical next step in this progression. This special issue focu...
