The work focuses on the analysis of adaptive scheduling functions in different use-cases, in the context of a network based on the 6TiSCH architecture. The considered scheduling functions comprehend distributed and adaptive autonomous functions, namely MSF, ALICE and OST, whose performance is examined and compared in four different scenarios, taking into consideration various metrics such as packet delivery ratio, latency and energy consumption, as well as scalability with respect to different topologies and traffic conditions.
