The ubiquitous adoption of WiFi implicitly introduces large diversity in types of application requirements and topological characteristics. Consequently, considerable attention is being devoted to making WiFi networks controllable without compromising their scalability. Within this broad paradigm, we propose Rhythm, a MAC protocol that achieves scheduled WiFi efficiently and that is subject to the following constraints: (i) It does not need fine-grained time synchronization, (ii) it adds no "active listening" time, (iii) it does not need to gather the queue status from clients, and (iv) it requires no additional hardware. It also has the following properties: (i) low overhead, (ii) work conservation, (iii) robustness to partial connectivity, and (iv) backward compatibility. |
