Abstract:
In accordance with the present disclosure, embodiments of an exemplary scheduling controller module or device implement and improved scheduling process such that the targeted reduction in schedule length can be achieve while incurring minimal energy penalty by allowing for a large rate (or duration) selection alphabet.

Claim (Index 16):
A link scheduling method comprising:\n generating a utilization matrix for a plurality of sensor nodes in a linear wireless sensor network; generating, using the utilization matrix, a rate matrix; generating, using the rate matrix, a translation matrix, wherein the translation matrix is smaller than the rate matrix; generating, using the translation matrix, a search matrix that minimizes average power consumption by the plurality of sensor nodes subject to an upper bound on a total length of a schedule; assigning, using the search matrix, duration slots to the plurality of sensor nodes; and communicating a schedule of the assigned duration slots to at least one of the plurality of sensor nodes.
