Breath: An Adaptive Protocol for Industrial Control Applications Using Wireless Sensor Networks
—An energy-efficient, reliable and timely data transmission is essential for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) employed in scenarios where plant information must be available for control applications. To reach a maximum efficiency, cross layer interaction is a major design paradigm to exploit the complex interaction among the layers of the protocol stack. This is challenging because latency, reliability, and energy are at odds, and resource constrained nodes support only simple algorithms. In this paper, the novel protocol Breath is proposed for control applications. Breath is designed for WSNs where nodes attached to plants must transmit information via multi-hop routing to a sink. Breath ensures a desired packet delivery and delay probabilities while minimizing the energy consumption of the network. The protocol is based on randomized routing, medium access control, and duty-cycling jointly optimized for energy efficiency. The design approach relies on a constrained optimization p...
