Abstract :
Wireless sensor networks can be used in industrial applications to overcome some limits of wired fieldbuses. This paper proposed a reliable wireless communication protocol (RWCP) for industrial applications. Protocol design focused on network reliability and power consumption. Reliability was improved by creating redundant links dynamically. Deterministic communication was provided through super frame scheduling. Overhearing was avoided by periodically sleeping. RWCP was implemented and simulated according to the design. The simulation result showed that RWCP can improve the reliability of network communication, and has lower power consumption than other protocols.
