Competition: Sparkle: Energy Efficient, Reliable, Ultra-low Latency Communication in Wireless Control Networks
Dingwen Yuan, Matthias Hollick · International Conference on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks · 2016
Wireless Sensor Networks is undergoing rapid development in the past decade. Yet its application in real-time systems is still immature. One of the main causes of this status is due to the lack of a deterministic end-to-end protocol that achieves high energy-efficiency, high reliability and low latency in communication simultaneously. This document describes Sparkle, a suitable deterministic protocol for Wireless Control Networks. It is also a competitor for the dependability competition of EWSN 2016. A detailed description and evaluation of the Sparkle protocol has been published in the proceedings of EWSN 2014.
