Motivation

Motivation and Background behind the project while comparing it with related work

Traditionally, time synchronization has been done over highly precise Ethernet communications. Ethernet allows for consistent transit time and is a generally reliable connection. However, as the world shifts to wireless devices, it has become apparent that it is challenging to get two devices to time sync over more unreliable or imprecise channels such as BLE or WiFi.

The goal of this project is to produce a library that can be used to synchronize two device's clocks with one another over an unreliable communication channel, such as BLE or WiFi.
