| Summary: | Wireless networks are growing in the value of application in many areas, in which accurate clock synchronization is required when tasks are performed in a collaborative fashion among nodes. Especially, cooperative synchronization techniques lead to significant performance improvement compared with traditional methods. However, the correlation among agents renders the performance analysis of cooperative network synchronization difficult. In this paper, we introduce the concept of information coupling intensity to the analysis of interaction between agents. Our approach enables us to derive closed-form asymptotic expressions under specific network topologies, and relate them to various network parameters.
