About

Marco Zennaro is a leading researcher in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), with a primary focus on advancing wireless communication protocols for mission-critical industrial environments. His major contributions center on the IEEE 802.15.4e Time Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH) protocol, where he has pioneered novel scheduling and mobility-aware solutions. His most-cited work, "6TiSCH Low Latency Autonomous Scheduling for Industrial Internet of Things" (2022, 26 citations), addresses the critical need for efficient, low-latency communication in IIoT by proposing an autonomous scheduling mechanism that enables seamless machine-to-machine interaction and big-data integration. Building on this foundation, his more recent work "MTSCH: MILP-Based Mobility-Aware TSCH Networks for IIoT" (2025) introduces a mathematical optimization framework to support mobile elements like robots and drones in industrial settings. Zennaro's research directly tackles the stringent reliability and latency requirements of modern smart factories, making his work essential reading for engineers and researchers developing next-generation industrial automation systems. His contributions are shaping how sensors, intelligent machines, and analytics converge in the IIoT landscape.
