Abstract

A Sensor Web (Figure 4) formed of a number of different sensor pods (Figure 4). Each of the sensor pods include a clock which is synchronized with a master clock so that all of the sensor pods (Figure 4) in the Web have a synchronized clock. The synchronization is carried out by first using a coarse synchronization which takes less power, and subsequently carrying out a fine synchronization to make a fine sync of all the pods (Figure 4) on the Web (Figure 4). After the synchronization, the pods ping their neighbors to determine which pods (Figure 4) are listening and responded, and then only listen during time slots corresponding to those pods (Figure 4) which respond.
