What is it about?

RT-Ranked is a scheduling approach for TSCH/RPL networks that anticipates traffic demand, proactively allocating resources to improve resiliency, reliability, and efficiency in industrial IoT communication.

Why is it important?

In the industry, downtime or communication failures can result in production stops, financial losses, or even safety hazards. Many IoT networks today still allocate resources statically or reactively, which struggles when demand suddenly increases. RT-Ranked matters because it makes networks proactive — anticipating traffic before problems happen. This means fewer delays, higher reliability, and better use of battery and spectrum resources for companies, which translates directly into lower maintenance costs, longer device lifetimes, and safer, more predictable operations.
