Abstract
As a key communication technology in IEEE 802.15.4, Time Slot Channel Hopping (TSCH) enhances transmission reliability and interference immunity by scheduling of time slots and channel assignments. This paper presents a TSCH framework designed to improve packet delivery ratio and anti-interference performance by generating optimal channel hopping sequences that achieve the Lempel-Greenberger bound. The framework employs the Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) algorithm to predict channel quality, thereby facilitating the selection of higher quality channels in response the dynamic interference changes. Simulation results demonstrate a 7.9% improvement in packet delivery ratio performance compared to previous studies.
