Abstract:
An apparatus for managing deterministic and synchronous multi-channel extension (DSME) network fluctuations in an industrial wireless sensor network includes: a network congestion rate measurer configured to measure a network congestion rate on the basis of a number of times an association request message is received and a number of times carrier sensing is performed, a DSME-guaranteed time slot (GTS) allocation information collector configured to continuously collect DSME-GTS allocation information using coordinators, a DSME-GTS maintenance determiner configured to determine whether to maintain or collect DSME-GTSs on the basis of collected network information, a slot reallocation determiner configured to determine whether data is received without collision from two nodes to which a slot is redundantly allocated and transmit a DSME-GTS expiration request to a sensor node for reallocation of empty slots.

Claim (Index 13):
The method of  claim 10 , wherein determining whether to execute the dynamic superframe comprises:\n setting the enhanced beacon by setting the macBeaconOrder BO, the macSuperframeOrder SO, and the macMultisuperframeOrder MO which are information regarding the superframes of the PAN coordinator and the coordinators; broadcasting the enhanced beacon by starting the CAP and receiving the association request message; checking whether the ratio between the total number of control messages and the total number of association request messages is greater than or equal to 0.7 and maintaining a current superframe when the ratio is greater than or equal to 0.7 and expanding the superframe by changing the macBeaconOrder BO, the macSuperframeOrder SO, and the macMultisuperframeOrder MO when the ratio is not greater than or equal to 0.7; and checking whether the ratio between the total number of control messages and the total number of association request messages is less than or equal to 0.3 or whether a channel usage rate is less than or equal to 0.4, and maintaining the current superframe when the ratio is not less than or equal to 0.3 or when the channel usage rate is not less than or equal to 0.4 and contracting the current superframe by changing the macBeaconOrder BO, the macSuperframeOrder SO, and the macMultisuperframeOrder MO when the ratio is less than or equal to 0.3 or when the channel usage rate is less than or equal to 0.4.
