A Distributed Pulse-Based Synchronization Protocol for Half-Duplex D2D Communications

In distributed device-to-device (D2D) communications, no common reference time is available and the devices must employ distributed synchronization techniques. In this context, pulse-based synchronization, which can be implemented by distributed phase-locked loops is preferred due to its scalability...
