Modeling Time Synchronization in WLANs in OMNeT++
- This paper presents a framework for OMNeT++ which includes time synchronization model for WLANs. Synchronization is based on the Generalized Precision Time Protocol (gPTP) standard, which aims to achieve an accuracy of less than 100 nanoseconds. The presented model is developed and implemented in OMNeT++, a discrete event network simulator, using its INET library. A new type of WLAN node is modeled which supports time synchronization at the Link layer. A clock module for WLAN nodes is also modeled which implements variable clock drift to simulate noise interference in clock frequency oscillators. Simulations with our WLAN nodes are done and the results show that using gPTP based time synchronization in wireless networks, accuracy of ±3ns can be achieved.
