Wireless communication network including network coordinator assigning time slots and channels to nodes to provide collision-free schedules and data aggregation method for the same
A wireless communication network includes a network coordinator (NC) having plural channels and plural wireless transceivers, and plural nodes. Each node has status information, a number of channels and a number of wireless transceivers. Each node and the NC communicate in a Carrier Sense Multiple Access mode. Each node communicates the status information thereof to or toward the NC in a Time Division Multiple Access mode having plural time slots. The NC assigns the time slots and the channels to the nodes to provide a plurality of collision-free schedules therefor. The NC sends, for each node, a corresponding one of the collision-free schedules to or toward a corresponding one of the nodes. Each collision-free schedule includes a corresponding number of the time slots and a corresponding number of the channels that the corresponding one of the nodes employs to communicate the status information thereof to or toward the NC.
