smarTmesh neTwork overview

ASmartMeshnetworkconsistsofaself-formingmulti-hop,

mesh of nodes, known as motes, which collect and relay

data, and a network manager that monitors and manages

network performance and security, and exchanges data

with a host application.

SmartMesh networks communicate using a time slotted

channel hopping (TSCH) link layer, pioneered by Dust

Networks. In a TSCH network, all motes in the network

are synchronized to within less than a millisecond. Time

in the network is organized into timeslots, which enables

collision-free packet exchange and per-transmission

channel-hopping. In a SmartMesh network, every device

has one or more parents (e.g. mote 3 has motes 1 and

2 as parents) that provide redundant paths to overcome

communicationsinterruptionduetointerference,physical

obstruction or multi-path fading. If a packet transmission

fails on one path, the next retransmission may try on a

different path and different RF channel.

A network begins to form when the network manager

instructsitsonboardaccesspoint(AP)radiotobeginsend-

ing advertisements—packets that contain information that

enables a device to synchronize to the network and request

to join. This message exchange is part of the security hand-

shakethatestablishesencryptedcommunicationsbetween

the manager or application, and mote. Once motes have

joined the network, they maintain synchronization through

time corrections when a packet is acknowledged.

to the network manager in packets called health reports.

The network manager uses health reports to continually

optimize the network to maintain >99.999% data reliability

even in the most challenging RF environments.

The use of TSCH allows SmartMesh devices to sleep in-

between scheduled communications and draw very little

power in this state. Motes are only active in timeslots

where they are scheduled to transmit or receive, typically

resulting in a duty cycle of < 1%. The optimization soft-

ware in the network manager coordinates this schedule

automatically. When combined with the Eterna low power

radio, every mote in a SmartMesh network—even busy

routing ones—can run on batteries for years. By default,

all motes in a network are capable of routing traffic from

other motes, which simplifies installation by avoiding the

complexity of having distinct routers vs non-routing end

nodes. Motes may be configured as non-routing to further

reduce that particular mote’s power consumption and to

support a wide variety of network topologies.

An ongoing discovery process ensures that the network

continually discovers new paths as the RF conditions

change. In addition, each mote in the network tracks per-

formance statistics (e.g. quality of used paths, and lists of

potential paths) and periodically sends that information

At the heart of SmartMesh motes and network managers

is the Eterna IEEE 802.15.4e System-on-Chip (SoC), fea-

turing Dust Networks’ highly integrated, low power radio

design, plus an ARM Cortex-M3 32-bit microprocessor

runningSmartMeshnetworkingsoftware.TheSmartMesh

networking software comes fully compiled yet is configu-

rable via a rich set of application programming interfaces

(APIs) which allows a host application to interact with

the network, e.g. to transfer information to a device, to

configure data publishing rates on one or more motes,

or to monitor network state or performance metrics. Data

publishing can be uniform or different for each device,

with motes being able to publish infrequently or faster

than once per second as needed.
