Abstract
The standardized 6TiSCH network offers high throughput, reliable, delay-bounded, and energy-efficient communication in Internet of Things networks. For 6TiSCH bootstrapping, 6TiSCH minimal configuration standard has been released, which uses a fixed transmission rate of Enhanced Beacon (EB) control frame throughout the network’s lifetime. However, our theoretical analysis shows both high and low EB rates affect new joining nodes’ synchronization time and energy consumption. To address this, we propose Parrondo’s Paradox-based EB Transmission (PPET) scheme, which allows already joined nodes to transmit their EB frames probabilistically. Both theoretical and experimental results show the performance improvement by PPET compared to benchmark schemes.
