 SmartMesh Technology

SmartMesh Technology SmartMesh Networking

A SmartMesh network consists of a highly scalable self-forming multi-hop, mesh of nodes, known as motes,
which collect and relay data, and a network manager that monitors and manages network performance and
security, and exchanges data with a host application.
SmartMesh motes and managers are complete wireless sensor network solutions. SmartMesh combines a
time-synchronized, channel-hopping link layer with hardware based on Analog Devices’ Eterna® system-on-chip
technology for a complete wireless networking solution
Time Synchronized, Channel Hopping Communications
SmartMesh networks communicate using a Time Synchronized Channel Hopping (TSCH) link layer, a technique
pioneered by Analog Devices’ SmartMesh team and a foundational building block of wireless mesh networking
standards, such as WirelessHART (IEC62591) and IEEE 802.15.4e. In a TSCH network, all motes in the
network are synchronized to within a few microseconds. Network communication is organized into time slots,
which enables low power packet exchange, pair-wise channel hopping and full path diversity.
Low Power Packet Exchange
The use of TSCH allows SmartMesh devices to sleep at ultralow power between scheduled communications,
typically resulting in a duty cycle of < 1%. The network manager utilizes TSCH to ensure:
>> Motes know precisely when to talk, listen or sleep
>> No packets collide on the network
>> Ultralow power consumption at every node–routing nodes typically consume <50μA

Pair-Wise Channel Hopping

Time synchronization enables channel-hopping on every transmitter-receiver pair for frequency diversity. With a

MOTE SmartMesh network:

Full Path and Frequency Diversity
MOTE
Each device has redundant paths to overcome communications interruption due to interference, physical
obstruction or multipath fading. If a packet transmission fails on one path, a mote will automatically retry on the
next available path and a different RF channel. Unlike other mesh technologies, no power and time-consuming
Eterna – Analog Devices’ Revolutionary IEEE 802.15.4e System-on-Chip Platform path rediscovery is required.
At the heart of SmartMesh motes and network managers is the Eterna IEEE 802.15.4e system-on-chip (SoC),
featuring Analog Devices’ highly integrated, low power 2.4GHz radio design, plus an ARM Cortex-M3 32-bit
microprocessor running SmartMesh networking software.

Dynamic Network Optimization

A SmartMesh network always maintains a profile of the RF environment surrounding the entire network with SmartMesh IP Solutions
automatic site surveys – each mote tracks relevant performance statistics and periodically sends these statistics
to the manager in packets called health reports. The network manager uses this data to proactively optimize
network performance to: Hardware solutions based on Software to be loaded onto the

SmartMesh networks are among the most secure mesh networks available. All traffic in a SmartMesh network
is protected by end-to-end encryption, message integrity checking and device authentication. Additionally, the
SmartMesh network manager includes applications that enable secure joining of the network, key establishment
and key exchange.
