IEEE 802.15.4 standard has a limited capacity to ensure low latency for time-critical industrial applications. The IEEE 802.15.4e LLDN mode has been specifically designed for industrial applications requiring low latency and round trip time. One of the main characteristics of LLDN regards the support of device mobility. The mobile devices aiming at association with the PAN coordinator are discovered and configured during discovery and configuration states. These states are isolated from the online state during which transmission of regular readings occurs. As discovery state, configuration state and online state utilize a shared single channel, a long association time at discovery and configuration states leads to a long delay for data transmission in online state, and vice versa. In this paper, we propose a modified superframe structure for fast discovery of mobile devices. Our goal is to minimize association latency for new devices by reducing the latency to enter into the online state. We show the efficiency of our proposed superframe structure compared with the default LLDN via our analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
