Time-critical communication in 6TiSCH networks

In Industry, there are number of time-critical applications with strong requirements for network services with latency and reliability guarantees. However, the lack of open and flexible, but also reliable and deterministic wireless communication solutions hinders the realization of fully connected and digital industrial spaces. In this paper, we investigate the approach of 6TiSCH architecture for deterministic networking performance and highlight its potential to be used in time-critical applications based on an experimental study.
