TSCH-rs
Time Slotted Channel Hopping implement in Rust
fTime Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH) is a Medium Access Control (MAC) layer protocol described in IEEE 802.15.4e designed for low-power and lossy networks. Devices are allocated time slots in which they can transmit and/or receive frames. The rest of the time the radio is turned off, reducing energy consumption. Consecutive transmissions are done on different frequencies to tackle interference. Implementations of TSCH can be found in Contiki-NG and OpenWSN, both written in C.
TSCH-rs is a TSCH implementation written in Rust, providing ease-of-maintanance, security and reliability. Furthermore, the implementation aims to be hardware-agnostic, making it easy to port to different IEEE 802.15.4 based radios. The Rust network stack for IEEE 802.15.4 radios already contains an implementation for 6LoWPAN and RPL. TSCH-rs will be a valuable addition to the Rust based low-power IEEE 802.15.4 network stack.
