The time synchronization procedure is very important for power saving in wireless ad hoc network and  method used by the synchronization that method chooses a particular node and gives priority for transmitting a signal to that node. All the Other nodes synchronize to the selected node according to Time Synchronization Function. Here increasing research focus on designing synchronization algorithms specifically for sensor networks. This paper look for reviews of  time synchronization problem and the need for synchronization in sensor networks, then presents in detail time synchronization methods explicitly designed and proposed for sensor networks and AD-HOC networks.

A wireless ad hoc network is a decentralized type of wireless network. It is a type of temporary computer-to-computer connection. It is a spontaneous network which includes mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET), vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANET) and Flying ad-hoc networks (FANET). A MANET is a network that has many free or autonomous nodes often composed of mobile devices that can operate without strict top-down network administration [1]. A VANET is a sub form of MANET. It is a technology that uses vehicles as nodes in a network to create a mobile network. FANET is an ad-hoc network of flying nodes. They can fly independently or can be operated distantly. This paper discusses the characteristics of these three ad-hoc networks.
