This paper presents a traffic-adaptive contention-free period (CFP) extension (TaCFPext) protocol for IEEE 802.15.4 deterministic and synchronous multichannel extension (DSME) medium access control (MAC), which aims to satisfy the traffic adaptability requirement of industrial wireless sensor networks (IWSNs). The legacy DSME standard has limitations in accommodating highly varying traffic load in IWSNs due to its fixed multi-superframe structure. TaCFPext enables a node to adaptively use a contention access period (CAP) as an extended CFP (extCFP) on the demands of traffic loads in a distributed manner. The node starts TaCFPext when it determines that the CFP of the current multi-superframe is insufficient to accommodate the traffic load. Then, the node selects a CAP to be used as an extCFP, on which it is allocated an extended guaranteed time slot (extGTS). When the traffic load decreases, the extGTS is deallocated before the GTS in CFP, and the extCFP returns to CAP again. An experimental simulation was performed to verify the superiority of TaCFPext. The results demonstrated that TaCFPext outperforms the legacy DSME for aggregate throughput and average delay under various traffic conditions.
