Detailed comments Paper provided a good overview of different time synchronization methods. Since attacks have been mentioned in the paper, it would be good to mention methods (or lack of methods) of defence against those attacks. Advantages and disadvantages of various protocols could also be mentioned more clearly. Some miscellaneous issues: - All figures should have numbers (now only the first figure has a number) and they should be referenced and explained in the text. - Chapter numbers would make the paper more clear, now it's a bit difficult to notice when the next top level chapter begins. - page 6, beginning: "a message is broadcast to two receivers" should be "message is broadcasted"? - page 6, middle, reference missing? "more on this method can be found at ... some reference"
