A Theoretical Association Time Model for IEEE 802.15. 4 TSCH Networks Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The Time Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH) mode of the standard IEEE 802.15.4 provides Medium Access Control (MAC) for most Low power and Lossy Network (LLN) applications in the Internet of Things (IoT). TSCH uses a synchronized schedule with frequency diversity to allow flexible, reliable and resilient communication. The standard defines an association algorithm to allow nodes to autonomously form the network. The time required to create the ...
