Firefly-Inspired Synchronicity with a Weighted Factor for Wireless Sensor Networks

Article Preview

Abstract:

Firefly-inspired synchronicity method using reackback response is effective with existence of message delay. We introduce a weighted factor based on RSSI into the phase increment calculation. Besides, different coupling strength parameters are selected according to the degree of synchronicity to achieve a good balance between synchronicity speed and accuracy. Simulink module is constructed and the results prove that this method shows great resistance against random variation of the message delay within an acceptable range.
