Competition: Centrally Scheduled Low-Power Wireless Networking for Dependable Data Collection

Paper i proceeding, 2019

For low-power wireless networks, it is important to survive interference to be usable for Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT) applications. Distributed flooding protocols like Glossy or Chaos have shown that they can meet the expectations of surviving interference and node failures. However, non-distributed, centralized schedulers are favorable for IIoT but are not used yet in these environments. In this paper, we explore the use of centralized schedulers for low-power wireless networks to achieve robustness in data collection applications.
