In dense Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), communication fails due to multipath fading and external interferences (EI). In Industry 4.0 environments, low-power wireless standards such as ZigBee, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), WirelessHART, and ISA100.11a face challenges in terms of reliability. Recently, Time-Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH) protocol has been adopted as a default mode in IEEE 802.15.4, providing resilience against EIs and multipath fading through time synchronization and channel ho...
