Research and Implementation of Time Synchronization Protocol Based on the ZigBee

ZigBee technology is more and more used in complex and bad industrial monitoring and control environment. At the same time, ZigBee nodes are usually powered by batteries, so prolonging the working time and reducing the power consumption of the nodes is very important. If the wireless nodes can turn into sleep mode in spare time of communication, it will further reduce the node power consumption. But in sleep period, the node can't communication with other node, we need to synchronous awaken and dormancy, so precise time synchronization for wireless sensor network application is particularly important. This paper will apply FTSP algorithm in the ZigBee network and realize the network time synchronization. At the same time, it doesn't increase power consumption of the network.
