We design an OFDM-based PHY layer to achieve an approximate sample mean provided by the semi-cooperative spectrum fusion (SCSF) technique from concurrent transmissions. We evaluate CoCo using computer simulations and plan to implement on software-defined radios (SDRs) to validate and compare with state of the art NTS protocols such as Average TimeSync (ATS).\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Cooperative Consensus for Clock Synchronization in Wireless Sensor Networks"}],"uid":"28475","created_gmt":"2018-12-05 17:08:25","changed_gmt":"2018-12-05 17:08:25","author":"Daniela Staiculescu","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2018-12-12T15:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2018-12-12T17:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2018-12-12T17:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2018-12-12 20:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2018-12-12 22:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2018-12-12 22:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"434371","name":"ECE Ph.D. Proposal Oral Exams"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"102851","name":"Phd proposal"},{"id":"1808","name":"graduate students"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
