Abstract
Recently, mission-critical Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications such as system automation, predictive maintenance, and anomaly detection have come into the spotlight of Industry 4.0 thanks to the promised benefits. The IEEE 802.15.4 Time-Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH) mode, along with the IPv6 over TSCH (6TiSCH) initiative, are two key standards to accommodate the diverse traffic patterns, reliability, latency, and power efficiency needs of such IIoT applications. To manage the allocation of communication resources in TSCH networks, a Scheduling Function (SF) is implemented. Even though scheduling in the IIoT has been the subject of numerous reviews, the potential of taking traffic-awareness into account has not been fully investigated. Motivated by these facts, we classify and analyze, in this systematic mapping review, prominent SFs dealing with traffic-awareness in TSCH networks published between 2012 and 2022. As a result, we provide a multi-dimensional map to identify the current trends in traffic-aware TSCH scheduling and help assess how far a given proposal is supported or contradicted by the empirical evidence in the field. Consequently, we discuss some open challenges that require community attention and point out potential future research directions regarding the design, implementation, and evaluation of new traffic-aware SFs.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials is an online journal published by the IEEE Communications Society for tutorials and surveys covering all aspects of the communications field. Telecommunications technology is progressing at a rapid pace, and the IEEE Communications Society is committed to providing researchers and other professionals the information and tools to stay abreast. IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials focuses on integrating and adding understanding to the existing literature on communications, putting results in context. Whether searching for in-depth information about a familiar area or an introduction into a new area, IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials aims to be the premier source of peer-reviewed, comprehensive tutorials and surveys, and pointers to further sources. IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials publishes only articles exclusively written for IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials and go through a rigorous review process before their publication in the quarterly issues.
A tutorial article in the IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials should be designed to help the reader to become familiar with and learn something specific about a chosen topic. In contrast, the term survey, as applied here, is defined to mean a survey of the literature. A survey article in IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials should provide a comprehensive review of developments in a selected area, covering its development from its inception to its current state and beyond, and illustrating its development through liberal citations from the literature. Both tutorials and surveys should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article.
