This article presents a clustering algorithm for implementing time synchronization in wireless sensor networks. The algorithm enables nodes within the network to maintain temporal coordination, facilitating better collaborative operations. Implementation involves three key phases: cluster formation using neighbor discovery protocols, cluster head election through energy-based selection functions, and synchronization message distribution utilizing timestamp exchange mechanisms. The approach effectively minimizes synchronization errors through hierarchical time correction and improves overall network performance by reducing communication overhead. By implementing this clustering strategy with proper timeout handling and message acknowledgment features, we can achieve more efficient network management, reliable data transmission, and enhanced collaborative task execution in wireless sensor environments.
