Abstract
In recent years, distributed network systems have been studied in order to yield a higher
data rate. However, performance of a distributed network degrades drastically when all nodes are
not properly synchronized. This thesis discusses the practical issues involved in existing
distributed network synchronization algorithms, and proposes an alternative solution for time
synchronization in distributed networks using a pseudo noise (PN) code. The proposed algorithm
has the following advantages over the existing algorithm: (1) increased time width of the pulseshaping
filter, i.e., narrowband waveform-shaping filter; (2) ability to work under a lower signalto-
noise ratio; (3) capability of reaching a steady state with fewer iterations; and (4) lower
steady-state error and fewer samples required per one update interval. Chapter 6 will elaborate
and explain these advantages. Simulation results will show the effectiveness of the algorithm
proposed and the advantages of the proposed algorithm over existing algorithms.
