Abstract-Real-timeliness and reliability are two basic requirements for industrial wireless sensor networks (IWSNs). In this paper, periodic heterogeneous traffics with delay constraints are concerned in an IWSN with multiple access points (thus forming a redundant star topology). In order to improve the reliability while meeting the real-timeliness and fairness, we propose a fairness-aware scheduling (FAS) algorithm, in which three heuristic rules are first designed based on a novel penalty mechanism. Then, in each slot field devices are classified into six priorities according to the above three rules. Finally, the current slot is allocated to field devices in accordance with their priorities and communication ranges in a space division multiplexing way. A performance study is carried out by simulation, and the results show that the proposed FAS algorithm performs much better than existing works in terms of reliability and fairness.

“…Based on the received data, the controller takes intelligent decisions and performs appropriate actions, through actuator devices, to change the behavior of the physical environment [2]. WSANs are already used in many application domains, ranging from traditional environmental monitoring and location/tracking applications to industrial [3] and healthcare [4] applications. In the industrial field WSAN applications include factory automation [5], distributed and process control [6] [7][8], real-time monitoring of machinery health, detection of liquid/gas leakage, radiation check [9], and so on.…”

-Time Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH) is one of the access behavior modes defined in the IEEE 802.15.4e standard. It combines time slotted access with multi-channel and channel hopping capabilities, providing predictable latency, energy efficiency, high network capacity, and high communication reliability. In this paper we focus on the formation process of TSCH networks, which relies on the regular advertisement of Enhanced Beacons (EBs). We consider a simple random-based advertisement algorithm, and evaluate its performance, through analysis and simulation, in terms of joining time (i.e., total time taken by a new node to join the network). We found that the joining time depends on a number of factors and, mainly, on the number of channels used for EB advertisement.

Abstract-In this work we propose an Adaptive Forward Error Correction (AFEC) algorithm for best effort Wireless Sensor Networks. The switching model is described in terms of a finitestate Markov model and it is based on the channel behavior, observed via Packet Delivery Ratio in the recent past. We compare the performance of AFEC with static FEC, as well as uncoded transmissions. The results demonstrate a gain in PDR achieved by introducing FEC coding in uncoded IEEE 802.15.4 transmissions, as well as the advantages over static FEC schemes, namely increased throughput and reduced energy consumption. The proposed solution is IEEE 802.15.4-compliant and requires no additional feedback channels.
