ABSTRACT
Despite the ubiquitous deployment and development of wireless technology for the Internet of Things (IoT), contemporary radio frequency (RF)-based solutions still cannot match the performance of a "wire" in terms of latency and throughput. This abstract presents a demonstration of Zero-Wire, a novel optical wireless approach that addresses this gap to enable latency-sensitive IoT applications. The essence of this approach is a new networking paradigm, referred to as a symbol-synchronous bus, wherein a mesh of nodes concurrently transmits optical signals. The demonstration setup is composed of 25 Zero-Wire nodes, forming a mesh network, and the demo showcases the network's behavior during a series of transmissions. End-to-end performance measurements include 19 kbps of contention-agnostic goodput, latency under 1 ms for two-byte frames, jitter on the order of 10s of μs, and a base reliability of 99%.

Zero-wire: a deterministic and low-latency wireless bus through symbol-synchronous transmission of optical signals
SenSys '20: Proceedings of the 18th Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor SystemsThe performance dichotomy between wired and wireless networks for the Internet of Things primarily arises from the inherent complexity and inefficiency of networking abstractions such as routing, medium access control and store-and-forward packet ...
A multichannel relay MAC protocol for IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs
One of the challenging issues in wireless LANs WLANs is improving the network throughput. One of the possible solutions for the issue is maximizing the number of concurrent transmissions. Although some protocols have been proposed to exploit ...
Two-level medium access control in cyber physical system-based smart wireless networks
Most of the literature review of wireless sensor actuator networks WSANs focused on single level collision avoidance while accessing a medium. In this paper, we try to solve the issues that arise after completing a particular stage of medium access. ...
