    What are the main reasons for the difference in sensor nodes between time points in sensor networks?


    *
    Answer

    The initial time at which the node starts timing is different. The quartz crystal of each node may jump at different frequencies, causing a gradual deviation of the clock value, called offset error. Over time, the clock ages or changes with the surrounding environment such as temperature.The change in the clock frequency is called the drift error.
