First, the network is divided into several parent\u2013child groups periodically. The group-wise pair selection algorithm is used to select the network\u2019s pairwise synchronization nodes, and chain-type network topology is thus generated. Second, the sequential multi-hop synchronization algorithm is introduced to realize the synchronization information exchange among pairwise synchronization nodes. The overhearing synchronization (OS) nodes obtain the synchronization information packet based on a one-way overhearing mechanism. Moreover, the accurate acquisition of the synchronization ack packet\u2019s timestamp is carried out through the use of receiving-time-plus-fixed-delay mode. Third, the joint maximum likelihood method and the minimum variance unbiased estimation method are used to estimate the clock offsets of pairwise synchronization nodes and overhearing nodes to the parent nodes, respectively, based on which the child nodes adjust their local virtual clocks. Periodically, the pairwise synchronization nodes initiate the network\u2019s time synchronization, estimate, and broadcast the relative offset to the gateway node, assisting the upper layer child nodes in synchronizing to the gateway node. Simulation results show that the proposed method not only achieves the millisecond level synchronization accuracy but also reduces the synchronization energy consumption and thus improves the network lifetime.
