Comparison of IEEE 802.15.4e MAC features

Time slotted channel hopping (TSCH) and coordinated sampled listening (CSL) are two of the main features of IEEE 802.15.4e designed for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In this paper, we compare the power and latency performance of TSCH and CSL for various scenarios. Our results show that while TSCH outperforms CSL in terms of power, its latency is higher.
