| Abstract | Abstract — The precision of computer clocks in personal digital assistant (PDA) class devices is typically quite low, they can easily drift more than 5 seconds per day. This is problematic when such devices are used for mobile ad-hoc network experiments, in which it is often necessary that devices distributed over a large area perform a certain action like sending packets simultaneously. We present in this paper a simple method that improves clock precision with standard Linux software components. This method is experimentally evaluated and it is shown that the clock precision in the devices used (HP iPAQ5550 and Sharp Zaurus SL-6000) improves by two orders of magnitude. |
