Description: In this paper, we present a new distributed protocol to achieve the synchronization of time variations and initial times simultaneously. The protocol combines the design methods of controller and estimator to obtain more precise synchronization with higher robustness against noisy inputs mainly generated by crystal oscillators of clocks. Furthermore, the control input is ensured bounded while achieving the clock synchronization, which makes our protocol more applicable in practice. The implementation of the protocol allows sampling in the receiving end to be event-triggered with a specifically designed communication scheme. Numerical simulations are shown to illustrate the performance of the protocol.
