Nowadays, networked computers are present in most aspects of everyday life. Moreover, essential parts of society come to depend on distributed systems formed of networked computers, thus making such systems secure and fault tolerant is a top priority. If t ...
The master-slave synchronization of two chaotic systems that interact over a noisy channel is analyzed from an information theoretic point of view. It is argued that arbitrarily precise synchronization, in the sense of the mean square synchronization error ...
We address the problem of time-base synchronization for MPEG services in the presence of network jitter. The conventional methods to obtain a stable clock indication are based on Phase Locked Loops (PLLs). They have the disadvantage of a long startup phase ...

The following invention disclosure is generally concerned with the synchronization of receiver time-bases in data transmission networks and specifically concerned with a least squares linear regression technique having a fast startup phase and improved jit ...
The paper discusses the influence of the time synchronization technique on the synchrophasor estimation accuracy in modern Phasor Measurement Units (PMU). Specifically, we make reference to Global Positioning System (GPS), Precision Time Protocol (PTP) and ...
With the inclusion of 406 MHz transponders on the Galileo satellites and the new search and rescue (SAR) return link message (RLM) on the open service E1B signal, the availability of distress beacons equipped with a Galileo or combined GPS/Galileo receiver ...
Group communication is the basic infrastructure for implementing fault-tolerant replicated servers. While group communication is well understood in the context of static systems (in which all processes are created at the start of the computation), current ...
This paper proposes a globally distributed synchronization algorithm for wireless sensor networks. In the proposed scheme, there is a master node that controls the network synchronization and the other sensors periodically broadcast synchronization pulses; ...
In this paper we present SECTOR, a set of mechanisms for the secure verification of the time of encounters between nodes in multi-hop wireless networks. This information can be used notably to prevent wormhole attacks (without requiring any clock synchroni ...
