IEEE 802.15.4 supports a Guaranteed Time Slot (GTS) allocation mechanism for time-critical and delay-sensitive data transmissions in Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs). However, the inflexible first-come-first-served GTS allocation policy and the passive deallocation mechanism significantly reduce network efficiency. In this paper, we propose an Adaptive and Real-Time GTS Allocation Scheme (ART-GAS) to provide differentiated services for devices with different priorities, which guarantees data transmissions for time-sensitive and high-traffic devices. The bandwidth utilization in IEEE 802.15.4-based PAN is improved. Simulation results show that our ART-GAS algorithm significantly outperforms the existing GTS mechanism specified in IEEE 802.15.4.

Support of real-time applications that impose strict requirements on packet loss ratio and latency is an essential feature of the next generation Wi-Fi networks. Initially introduced in the 802.11ax amendment to the Wi-Fi standard, uplink OFDMA seems to be a promising solution for supported low-latency data transmission from the numerous stations to an access point. In this paper, we study how to allocate OFDMA resources in an 802.11ax network and propose an algorithm aimed at providing the delay less than one millisecond and reliability up to 99.999% as required by numerous real-time applications. We design a resource allocation algorithm and with extensive simulation, show that it decreases delays for real-time traffic by orders of magnitude, while the throughput for non-real-time traffic is reduced insignificantly.
Next generation Wi-Fi networks are expected to support real-time applications that impose strict requirements on the packet transmission delay and packet loss ratio. Such applications form an essential target for the future Wi-Fi standard, namely IEE E 802.11be, the development process of which started in 2019. A promising way to provide efficient real-time communications in 802.11be networks requires some modification of the uplink OFDMA feature originally introduced in the IEEE 802.11ax amendment to the Wi-Fi standard. This feature allows the access point to reserve channel resources for upcoming urgent transmissions. The paper explains why uplink OFDMA random access of 802.11ax does not perfectly fit the requirements of real-time applications and proposes an easy-to-implement modification of the channel access rules for future 802.11be networks. With extensive simulation, it is shown that this modification together with a new resource allocation algorithm outperforms the existing ways to support real-time applications, especially for a heavy load and a high number of users. In particular, they provide extremely low delays for real-time traffic, while the throughput for non-real-time traffic is reduced insignificantly.
For data collection scenarios in the Industrial Internet of Things, wireless communication provides a cost-effective and easy-to-deploy alternative to wired networks. The main focus lies on energy efficiency and reliability, as many devices are batte ry operated. IEEE 802.15.4 DSME enhances reliability by acknowledging each packet individually, imposing an overhead for each transmitted packet, and increasing energy consumption. In networks with little interference, it may be beneficial to aggregate the acknowledgments for multiple nodes and broadcast them in a compressed format to all nodes in the neighborhood. The IEEE 802.15.4 2012 standard describes such a group acknowledgment scheme which, however, disappears in later iterations of the standard. This paper compares different group acknowledgment schemes and proposes a novel group acknowledgment scheme with the goal to examine whether group acknowledgments constitute a viable alternative to regular acknowledgments in reliable data-collection scenarios. Our analysis suggests that apart from a few cases, GACKs do not constitute a valid alternative to the direct acknowledgement of data packets.
In 2015, the IEEE 802.15.4 standard was expanded by the Deterministic and Synchronous Multi-Channel Extension (DSME) to increase reliability, scalability and energy-efficiency in industrial applications. The extension offers a TDMA/FDMA-based channel access, where time is divided into two alternating phases, a contention access period (CAP) and a contention free period (CFP). During the CAP, transmission slots can be allocated offering an exclusive access to the shared medium during the CFP. The fraction $tau$ of CFPs time slots in a dataframe is a critical value, because it directly influences agility and throughput. A high throughput demands that the CFP is much longer than the CAP, i.e., a high value of the fraction $tau$, because application data is only sent during the CFP. High agility is given if the expected waiting time to send a CAP message is short and that the length of the CAPs are sufficiently long to accommodate necessary (de)allocations of GTSs, i.e., a low value of the fraction $tau$. Once DSME is configured according to the needs of an application, the fraction $tau$ can only assume one of two values and cannot be changed at run-time. In this paper, we propose two extensions of DSME that allow to adopt $tau$ to the current traffic pattern. We show theoretically and through simulations that the proposed extensions provide a high degree of responsiveness to traffic fluctuations while keeping the throughput high.
In 2019 IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee started the development of the next major amendment of the Wi-Fi standard: the IEEE 802.11be, also known as Wi-Fi 7. This new amendment will introduce many new functions and will improve the existing ones that will make Wi-Fi more efficient in many new scenarios. One of the scenarios is the service of Real-Time Applications with strict requirements on latency and reliability of communications. Providing low latencies can be challenging in Wi-Fi because of the unlicensed spectrum and related interference from neighboring devices. In this paper, we consider the usage of OFDMA transmissions for Real-Time Applications and design resource allocation algorithms that can provide the required latency and reliability in the presence of interference.
