GNSS time synchronisation in co-operative vehicular networks

This thesis is a comprehensive study of time synchronisation issues in vehicular communication networks. It reviews the requirements of time synchronization in cooperative vehicular networks and examines the feasibility of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) timing techniques for synchronising the networks. Results from experiments show that GNSS time synchronisation methods can replace existing time synchronisation function (TSF) based synchronisation in vehicular networks by offering high precision and high accuracy.
