Prototyping and Performance Analysis of a QoS MAC Layer for Industrial Wireless Network (0806.2549v1)
Published 16 Jun 2008 in cs.NI
Abstract: Today's industrial sensor networks require strong reliability and guarantees on messages delivery. These needs are even more important in real time applications like control/command, such as robotic wireless communications where strong temporal constraints are critical. For these reasons, classical random-based Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols present a non-null frame collision probability. In this paper we present an original full deterministic MAC-layer for industrial wireless network and its performance evaluation thanks to the development of a material prototype.
