Dear All, Is there any way to support hybrid MAC wherein TSCH and non-TSCH modes co-exist within a 6TiSCH network ? The motivation for this comes from the following papers that I came across, where Hybrid MAC over traditional TDMA or CSMA MAC such as Z-MAC [1], ER-MAC [2], EZMAC [3], QZMAC [3] has been proposed.
References: [1] Z-MAC: a Hybrid MAC for Wireless Sensor Networks, SenSys’05 http://www4.ncsu.edu/~rhee/export/zmacsensys.pdf [2] A hybrid MAC protocol for emergency response wireless sensor networks http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1570870514000638 [3] Hybrid MAC Protocols for Low-Delay Scheduling, IEEE 13th International Conference on Mobile Ad Hoc and Sensor Systems, 2016 http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7815011/ IEEE Std 802.15.4-2015 defines various MLME primitives which allow you to ON and OFF TSCH mode using MLME-TSCH-MODE request. Is there a way we can manage Hybrid MAC using these MLME primitives within 6TiSCH framework ? Your feedback will be highly appreciated. Best regards, Suman Panchal
