The time synchronization procedure is very important for power saving in wireless ad hoc network and method used by the synchronization that method chooses a particular node and gives priority for transmitting a signal to that node. All the Other nodes synchronize to the selected node according to Time Synchronization Function. Here increasing research focus on designing synchronization algorithms specifically for sensor networks. This paper look for reviews of time synchronization problem and the need for synchronization in sensor networks, then presents in detail time synchronization methods explicitly designed and proposed for sensor networks and AD-HOC networks.
