Figure 7.24. The block diagram of mass normalization constant estimation.<br />

At the beginning, parameters such as node IDs of the leaf nodes and measurement<br />

directions are injected to the manager sensor and cluster head nodes. Also, these nodes are<br />

notified which of the four sets of measurements shown in Figures 7.24 and 7.25 needs to<br />

be performed. Information from the base station or users is transferred only at this stage. It<br />

is considered possible to inject these parameters only once and store them on nonvolatile<br />

memory. In this way, networks of smart sensors can work as autonomous stand-alone<br />

systems.<br />

At the end of parameter injection, time synchronization begins. To increase the<br />

possibility of successful time synchronization, and to estimate clock drift, time<br />

synchronization is repeated multiple times. Time synchronization is also performed later<br />

between measurements.<br />
