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 7):
A method of managing deterministic and synchronous multi-channel extension (DSME) network fluctuations in an industrial wireless sensor network, the method comprising:\n measuring 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; continuously collecting DSME-guaranteed time slot (GTS) allocation information using coordinators; determining whether to maintain DSME-GTSs by determining whether to maintain or collect DSME-GTSs on the basis of collected network information; determining whether to reallocate slots by checking whether data is received without collision from two nodes to which a slot is redundantly allocated and transmitting a DSME-GTS expiration request to a sensor node for reallocation of empty slots; and synchronizing a personal area network (PAN) coordinator and the coordinators with each other even in DSME by applying time slot relaying-based beacon synchronization to DSME and transmitting a beacon in a slot of a subsequent superframe excluding a first slot of a multi-superframe in which an enhanced beacon is transmitted.
