Recent proposals to simplify the operation of the IoT include the use of Information Centric Networking (ICN) paradigms. While this is promising, several challenges remain. In this paper, our core contributions (a) leverage ICN communication patterns to dynamically optimize the use of TSCH (Time Slotted Channel Hopping), a wireless link layer technology increasingly popular in the IoT, and (b) ...

Several studies have highlighted that the IEEE 802.15.4 standard presents a number of limitations such as low reliability, unbounded packet delays and no protection against interference/fading, that prevent its adoption in applications with stringent requirements in terms of reliability and latency. Recently, the IEEE has released the 802.15.4e amendment that introduces a number of enhancements...

We estimate the data generating process of daily excess returns of 20 major Ger-man stocks in a CAPM framework with time varying betas. Our sample spans a 23 year period from 1974 to 1996. An asymmetric dependence of volatility on lagged innovations is taken into account. We introduce beta impulse response functions to shed light on the structural implications of systematic risk associated with...

Body Area Networks (BANs) expect to exploit IEEE802. 15.4-2015-TSCH, proposing an efficient MAC layer for wireless industrial sensor networks. The standard relies on techniques such as channel hopping and bandwidth reservation to ensure both energy savings and reliable transmissions. With the expected growth of the BAN usage, we must now consider dense topologies, and interference. In this pape...
