Static-Priority Scheduling of Sporadic Messages on a Wireless Channel

  • Conference paper

Part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series (LNTCS,volume 3974)

Abstract

Consider the problem of scheduling sporadic messages with deadlines on a wireless channel. We propose a collision-free medium access control (MAC) protocol which implements static-priority scheduling and present a schedulability analysis technique for the protocol. The MAC protocol allows multiple masters and is fully distributed; it is an adaptation to a wireless channel of the dominance protocol used in the CAN bus. But unlike that protocol, our protocol does not require a node having the ability to receive an incoming bit from the channel while transmitting to the channel.

Keywords

  • Medium Access Control
