In this paper, we present a timeslot assignment scheme for cluster-tree-based TDMA WSN, co：＇ering three frequently used working modes in practical applications. The shortest frame formed can guarantee real-time conununication and is also facilitated for message and slot integration, since timeslots allocated to a single node are continuous. During allocation processes, the algorithms are distributed and light-weighted. The experiment resulted from a WSN prototype system shows that our scheme can achieve a good reliability.展开更多
