The Internet of Things (IoT) technology is rapidly developing in recent years, and is applicable to various fields. A smart factory is one wherein all the components are organically connected to each other via a WSN, using an intelligent operating system and the IoT. A smart factory technology is used for flexible process automation and custom manufacturing, and hence needs adaptive network management for frequent network fluctuations. Moreover, ensuring the timeliness of the data collected through sensor nodes is crucial. In order to ensure network timeliness, the power consumption for information exchange increases. In this paper, we propose an IEEE 802.15.4e DSME-based distributed scheduling algorithm for mobility support, and we evaluate various performance metrics. The proposed algorithm adaptively assigns communication slots by analyzing the network traffic of each node, and improves the network reliability and timeliness. The experimental results indicate that the throughput of the DSME MAC protocol is better than the IEEE 802.15.4e TSCH and the legacy slotted CSMA/CA in large networks with more than 30 nodes. Also, the proposed algorithm improves the throughput by 15%, higher than other MACs including the original DSME. Experimentally, we confirm that the algorithm reduces power consumption by improving the availability of communication slots. The proposed algorithm improves the power consumption by 40%, higher than other MACs.

Fine chemical production must assure high-standard product quality as well as characterized as multi-product production in small volumes. Installing high-precision batch distillation is one of the common elements in the successful manufacturing of fine chemicals, and the importance of the process operation strategy with quality assurance cannot be overemphasized. In this study, we investigate the optimal operation strategy and production planning of a sequential multi-purpose plants consisting of batch processes and batch distillation with unlimited intermediate storage. We formulated this problem as an MILP model. A mixed-integer linear programming model is developed based on the time slot, which is used to determine the production sequence and the production path of each batch. Illustrative examples show the effectiveness of the approach.

Test scheduling of SoC becomes more important because it is one of the prime methods to minimize the testing time under limited power consumption of SoCs. In this paper, a heuristic algorithm, in which test resources are selected for groups and arranged based on the size of product of power dissipation and test time together with total power consumption in core-based SoCs is proposed. We select test resource groups which has maximum power consumption but does not exceed the constrained power consumption and make the testing time slot of resources in the test resource group to be aligned at the initial position to minimize the idle test time of test resources.

Supporting QoS over multihop wireless mesh networks is difficult because end-to-end delay increases quickly with the increasing number of hops. This paper introduces a novel multichannel time-division multiple-access media access control (McTMAC) protocol that can help to efficiently reduce delay over multihop networks. Performance evaluation results demonstrate that McTMAC outperforms existing alternative protocols. The max-delay can be reduced by as much as 60% by using McTMAC.

In this paper, we propose bandwidth management scheme to efficiently guarantee the QoS of various services on ATM based IMT-2000 networks. The proposed bandwidth management scheme consists of the call admission control to reduce a handoff failure probability and the scheduling scheme to efficiently allocate a time slot based on the QoS requirements in wireless links. The simulation results show that the proposed bandwidth scheme has better performance than the previous works in terms of the handoff failure probability and packet delay time.

The problem of scheduling general packet traffic on WDM optical interconnection networks is NP-complete, It is known that the list scheduling is a good approximation algurithm fur this problem, The resulting list schedules vary depending on the order of transmitters considered to be placed on each time slot We propose an improvement of the list scheduling that tries different orders of transmitters to obtain shorter schedule lengths, Genetic algorithms are used to explore various orders of transmitters.

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.

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.

Test scheduling of SoC (System-on-a-chip) is very important because it is one of the prime methods to minimize the testing time under limited power consumption of SoC. In this paper, a heuristic algorithm, in which test resources are selected for groups and arranged based on the size of product of power dissipation and test time together with total power consumption in core-based SoC is proposed. We select test resource groups which has maximum power consumption but does not exceed the constrained power consumption and make the testing time slot of resources in the test resource group to be aligned at the initial position in test space to minimize the idling test time of test resources. The efficiency of proposed algorithm is confirmed by experiment using ITC02 benchmarks.

This paper proposes an efficient data transmission strategy using adaptive-tier low transmission power schedule in a TDMA-based ad hoc MAC protocol. Since the network resource of ad hoc networks has the characteristic of reassignment due to the multiple interferences and the contention-based limited wireless channel, the efficient time slot assignment and low power transmission scheme are the main research topics in developing ad hoc algorithms. Based on the proposed scheme of interference avoidance when neighbor clusters transmit packets, this paper can minimize the total energy dissipation and maximize the utilization of time slot in each ad hoc node. Simulation demonstrates that the proposed algorithm yields 15.8 % lower energy dissipation and 4.66% higher time slot utilization compared to the ones of two-tier conventional energy dissipation model.
