Routing Aware DSME Networks. Deterministic Synchronous Multichannel Extension (DSME) is a prominent MAC behavior of IEEE 802.15.4e can avail deterministic service using its multisuperframe structure. RPL is a routing protocol for wireless networks with low power consumption and generally susceptible to packet loss. A combination of these two protocols can integrate real-time QoS demanding and large-scale IoT networks. In this. 2019.

Deterministic Synchronous Multichannel Extension (DSME) is a prominent MAC behavior irst introduced in IEEE 802.15.4e that supports deterministic guarantees using its multisuperframe structure. DSME also facilitates techniques like multi-channel and CAP reduction that help to increase the number of available guaranteed timeslots in a network. However, no tuning of these functionalities in dynamic. 2018. Kurunathan, Harrison; Severino, Ricardo; Koubâa, Anis. http://hdl.handle.net/10400.22/12314.
