What is it about?
In a wireless sensor network deployed inside an aircraft cabin there are critical sensors, which require almost real-time communication, e.g., smoke alarms. Despite the limited transmission power of sensors, the proposed solution, based on the 6TiSCH framework, achieves low end-to-end delays and high reliability by utilizing cooperation between layers of communication protocol stack.

Why is it important?
Adopting wireless sensor networks in avionics allows to save resources on wiring installation and maintenance, as well as reduce overall aircraft weight, fuel consumption, etc. However, to support certain application types, strict Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees are necessary, which we show can be met if a sophisticated cross-layer approach is used on top of the standardized 6TiSCH protocol stack.
Perspectives
Writing this article was my first experience with journal publication and I am really fond of collaboration with my co-authors, review process as well as the opportunity to learn how one can properly communicate their findings to the research community. I hope the concepts presented in this work reach far beyond the avionics context and will be attempted on practice for large multi hop wireless sensor network deployments.
