A deterministic scheduling mechanism for industrial wireless networks

In harsh industrial environment, industrial wireless networks need high quality performance at real-time, deterministic schedule, reliability and low-power consumption, and so on, or it will bring disastrous consequences to the industrial field. The existing industrial wireless network can not fundamentally solve the multi-hop network beacon collision, thus it will influence its real-time capability, the demand for certainty and reliability. This requires a method of scheduling uncertainties communications star-based network to standardize the channel access mechanisms, multi-hop network and to address the mutual interference, thus completing the tree network scheduling. So, the problem of beacon collision in multi-hop network will be solved and it can be widely applied to industrial wireless network.
