The safety applications based on the IEEE 802.11p, periodically transmit the safety-related information to all surrounding vehicles with high reliability and a strict timeline. However, due to the high vehicle mobility, dynamic network topology and limited network resource, the fixed beacon scheduling scheme excess delay and packet loss due to the channel contention and network congestion. With this motivation, we propose a novel beacon scheduling algorithm referred to as spatial-aware(SA) beacon scheduling based on the spatial context information, dynamically rescheduling the beaconing rate like a TDMA channel access scheme. The proposed SA beacon scheduling algorithm was evaluated using different highway traffic scenarios with both a realistic channel model and 802.11p model in our simulation. The simulation results showed that the performance of our proposed algorithm was better than the fixed scheduling in terms of throughput, channel access delay, and channel load. Also, our proposed algorithm is satisfy the requirements of vehicular safety application.

In beacon-enabled mode, beacon collision is a significant problem for the scalability of cluster-tree wireless sensor networks. In this paper, multi-channel time division scheduling (MCTS) is proposed to prevent beacon collisions and provide scalability. A coordinator broadcasts a beacon frame, including information on allocated channels and time-slots, and a new node determines its own channel and time-slot. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated by comparing the proposed approach with a typical ZigBee. MCTS prevents beacon collisions in cluster-tree wireless sensor networks. It enables large-scale wireless sensor networks based on a cluster tree to be scalable and effectively constructed.

This paper proposes and analyzes a message scheduling scheme and corresponding bandwidth allocation method for the hard real-time communication on dual standard 802.11 Wireless LANs. By making the superframeof one network precede that of the other by half, the dual network architecture can minimize the effect of deferred beacon and reduce the worst case waiting timeby half. The effect of deferred beacon is formalized and directly considered to decide the polling schedule of PCF phase. Simulation results executed via ns-2 show that the proposed scheme can improve the schedulability by 3$36\%$ for real-time messages and give $9\%$ more bandwidth to non-real-time messages for the given stream sets, compared with the network whose bandwidth is just doubled with the same MAC.

In this paper, we propose the scheduling scheme of IEEE802.15.4e TSCH which is not specified in standard specification. The proposed scheme schedules the link by cooperating among the devices. A new device scans EBs(Enhanced Beacons) from network. An advertiser device broadcasts an enhanced beacon frame including links information on allocated channel offset and time-slots, and a new device can determine its own channel offset and time-slot. It's performance on maximum throughput and minimum delay is evaluated by comparing the proposed approach with a typical single channel IEEE802.15.4.

Zigbee 센서 네트워크에서는 multihop 전송을 위하여 tree topology와 beacon-enabled 네트워크 구성을 갖는다. 이러한 multihop beaconing 네트워크의 목적은 routing 노드들에게 Sleep할 기회를 주어 파워의 소모를 줄이고자 하는 데 있다. 파워의 소모를 줄이고 beacon 전송시의 충돌을 방지하기 위하여 beacon 전송 스케줄링이 필요한데 본 논문은 multihop을 지원하고 에너지 효율에 효과적인 beacon 전송 스케줄링 알고리즘과 이를 바탕으로 에너지 효율적인 라우팅 기법을 제안한다. 본 제안은 Zigbee coordinator의 beacon interval(BI)이 결정되면 네트워크 내의 beacon을 전송하는 모든 노드들은 Zigbee coordinator의 BI를 알고 모든 노드의 superframe duration(SD)은 동일하다고 가정한다. 이러한 가정하에서 beacon을 전송하는 노드들이 Zigbee coordinator의 BI 구간 중 항상 정해진 시간에 자신의 beacon을 전송한다면 beacon의 충돌을 막을 수 있음을 보여 준다. 또한 노드들이 서로의 beacon 전송 시간을 알 수 있기 때문에 목적지 노드의 beacon을 tracking하지 않고도 목적지 노드가 active 되는 시점에 패킷을 전송하면 에너지 측면에서 좀 더 효율적인 라우팅 기반을 제공한다는 것을 보여 준다.
