TSMP
- TSMP: Time Synchronized Mesh Protocol,
- was developed by Dust Networks as a communications protocol for self-organizing networks of wireless devices called motes
- TSMP devices stay synchronized to each other and communicate in timeslots, similar to other TDM systems.
- Such deterministic communication allows the devices to stay extremely low power, as the radios only turn on for the periods of scheduled communication.
- The protocol is designed to operate very reliably in a noisy environment.
- It uses channel hopping to avoid interference
- the packets between TSMP devices get sent on different radio channels depending on time of transmission.
- Dust Networks' underlying time synchronized mesh networking technology has been standardized by the HART Communications Foundation with the WirelessHART protocol, and the ISA100 standard.
- Time synchronized mesh networking is marketed for applications that require reliability and ultra long battery life, typically measured in years. It is intended for the industrial
- market for manufacturing process monitoring and control.
