Technical Perspective: On Abstractions and Embedded Networks

Technical Perspective: On Abstractions and Embedded Networks

"Symbol-Synchronous Buses," by Jonathan Oostvogels et al., conceives a notion of a symbol-synchronous bus, which effectively makes a multi-hop wireless network behave like a single wire.

Symbol-Synchronous Buses: Deterministic, Low-Latency Wireless Mesh Networking with LEDs

We describe a novel networking paradigm that aims to enable a new class of latency-sensitive applications by systematically breaking networking abstractions.
