messages. The repetitive architecture of SAD within a super-
frame duration enables a node that did not have permission
during the first SAD to update its candidate SD index by itself
and retry allocation notification with the updated SD index.
Therefore, it is possible for more prospective nodes to join the
network within a superframe duration.
5.3. E-DSME Superframe Structure.As mentioned in the
previous subsection, a superframe duration is made up of a
number of SADs. A SAD is also composed of ACPs and PNPs:
SAD=푇ACP+푇PNP. (1)Here, each duration of푇ACPand푇PNPis as follows:푇ACP
