Abstract
In one embodiment, a device receives data indicative of a routing topology of a network. The network includes a root node and each node in the network has an associated network depth relative to the root. The device selects a first subset of timeslots from a slotframe of a communication schedule based on the network depth of a particular node in the network. The device selects a second subset of timeslots from the first subset, based on a media access control (MAC) address of the particular node. The device assigns the second subset of timeslots to the particular node for reception in the slotframe of the communication schedule. The device sends the communication schedule to one or more nodes in the network.
