Sensors, Vol. 19, Pages 4128: Bell-X, An Opportunistic Time Synchronization Mechanism for Scheduled Wireless Sensor Networks

This article proposes a new beacon advertising approach for a fast synchronization for networks under the TSCH-Medium Access Control (MAC) layer and Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (RPL). This new method makes it possible to speed up the connection times of new nodes in an opportunistic way, while reducing the consumption and advertising traffic generated by the network.
