Abstract [en]
Low-power wireless Internet of Things (IoT) devices employ Time Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH) Medium Access Control to achieve predictable timing behaviour. TSCH aims at collision-free scheduling by exploiting diversity over time (slots) and frequency (channels). However, existing works on performance and worst-case analysis are based on deterministic models, which lead to rather pessimistic non-realistic results, i.e. tools for probabilistic performance analysis of TSCH schedulers are still lacking. In this context, we devised a Stochastic Network Calculus model that enables to calculate end-to-end delays for specific traffic flows and (deadline) violation probability, building on Moment Generating Functions. We instantiate this SNC model and provide bounds for three widely used TSCH schedulers, namely Minimal Scheduling Function, Orchestra, and a custom collision-free scheduler, with different parameters such as radio duty-cycle, radio link quality, and traffic arrival rate. We demonstrate that our proposed model closely follows the simulation results, under different network scenarios.
