Timestamp-free synchronization for wireless body-area networks

In this paper, a novel timestamp-free synchronization algorithm is proposed where no dedicated timing messages are exchanged; the synchronization algorithm is embedded in the existing network messages. The proposed algorithm is intended for networks where many messages are transferred from the sensor to the central communication node, but only a few messages are transmitted from the central communication node to the sensor; which reflects the practical considerations of wireless body-area networks.
