In TAMS, instead of competing to transmit sporadic messages in consecutive cycles, Accepted 23 June 2014 end-nodes are divided into groups, which then access the channel in specific cycles when the probability Available online 7 August 2014 of timeslots getting involved in collisions exceeds a specified threshold. Conversely, in CWSA, the contention Keywords: window is adjusted when the probability of timeslots getting involved in collisions exceeds the threshold. The ISA100.11a results of simulations conducted indicate that these two proposed methods provide performance improvements Message scheduling in terms of success probability and end-to-end delay.
