Abstract (EN): The LLDN (Low Latency Deterministic Network) mode is a IEEE 802.15.4e amendment specifically designed for industrial applications requiring low latency and low loss rate. It is based on a static TDMA scheme composed of fixed-size slots. One of its limitations regards the support of messages with different sizes and different periodicities. In this paper, a slot allocation scheme is proposed, enabling the support of heterogeneous message streams. The rationale is to compute a suitable timeslot size to communication devices, enabling adaptive control of the superframe without changing the LLDN standard. This paper shows that it is possible to accommodate heterogeneous message streams while maintaining low cycle times when transmitting messages with variable payload.
