Abstract

IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is one of the effective protocols which is proposed to provide synchronization of clocks in wired networks. It provides synchronization accuracy of sub-microsecond in wired networks. Through this paper, we analyzed the feasibility and challenges of implementing PTP in the Internet of Things (IoTs). We generated synchronization data for various synchronization intervals. We provided solutions for the problems faced, when implementing PTP in the IoTs. We also found various parameters that have to be decided carefully for precise synchronization in IoTs
