Abstract
A management nodal point of a wireless sensor network (WSN) receives a plurality of tasks and stores the tasks in a buffer. Each of the tasks would be assigned to and executed by a corresponding one of execution nodal points of the WSN. The management nodal point records a status of each execution nodal point as an executable status or a non-executable status. Before the management nodal point assigns a first task, the management nodal point obtains the status of a first execution nodal point corresponding to the first task. If the first execution nodal point is at the executable status, the management nodal point assigns the first task to the first execution nodal point according to a predetermined rule.
Claims9
A method of task scheduling in a wireless sensor network (WSN), the method comprising:
- a management nodal point of the WSN receiving a plurality of tasks, and storing the tasks in a buffer, wherein each of the tasks is assigned to and executed by a corresponding one of execution nodal points of the WSN;
- the management nodal point recording a status of each of the execution nodal points as an executable status or a non-executable status;
- before the management nodal point assigning a first task of the tasks, the management nodal point obtaining a status of a first execution nodal point corresponding to the first task;
- and
- if the first execution nodal point is in the executable status, the management nodal point assigning the first task to the first execution nodal point according to a predetermined rule.
