Wireless communication networks based on IEEE 802.15.4 and ZigBee PRO constitute a critical component of smart grid infrastructures, where reliability and availability requirements exceed those typically assumed in low-power wireless deployments. Despite extensive analytical modeling, most existing studies rely on independence assumptions for packet errors and simplified abstractions of reassociation dynamics. This work presents stochastic reliability characterization grounded on real MAC-layer traffic capture from an operational IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee PRO network. The methodology combines statistical hypothesis testing, first-order Markov modeling, spectral-gap analysis, large-deviation theory, renewal processes, and survival analysis of realignment intervals. Empirical results reject the hypothesis of independent frame errors and demonstrate significant temporal dependence with geometric mixing behavior. The estimated transition structure reveals burst-error persistence, inflating long-run variance relative to memoryless models. Furthermore, coordinator realignment intervals deviate from exponential behavior, exhibiting non-constant event rates consistent with regenerative dynamics. These findings indicate that effective communication reliability is governed not only by average frame error probability but also by dependence structure and regeneration mechanisms. The proposed probabilistic framework provides a rigorous and reproducible methodology for dependence-aware reliability assessment in smart grid communication systems.

This work presents an in-depth evaluation of the telecommunications landscape in Mexico from 2015 to 2023. The study’s primary focus is on the disparities in broadband access, telecommunications infrastructure, and digital inclusion across various regions, particularly between urban and rural areas. By employing predictive models and correlation analysis, the paper identifies key factors influencing technology adoption and service bundling in households. A significant contribution of this research lies in its identification of strong correlations between broadband access, GDP growth, and the penetration of multiple telecommunication services such as fixed telephony, broadband internet, and television. The predictive models developed offer crucial insights into the regional inequalities of digital access, revealing patterns that policymakers can use to prioritize infrastructure investments. The findings underscore the essential role of public policy innovation in promoting digital inclusion, particularly in underdeveloped regions, and provide a robust analytical framework for understanding how advanced telecommunications services contribute to socio-economic development. Through this analytical approach, the study demonstrates the critical relationship between telecommunications infrastructure and regional economic performance, offering data-driven recommendations to bridge the digital divide and enhance connectivity in underserved areas. The results offer significant value for future research and policy initiatives aimed at fostering equitable access to Information and communication technologies, promoting economic growth, and ensuring broader societal inclusion in the digital age.

<Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are fundamental for modern IoT applications, yet they remain highly vulnerable to jamming attacks, which significantly degrade communication reliability and energy efficiency. This paper proposes a novel adaptive cluster-based jamming mitigation algorithm designed for heterogeneous WSNs that integrate LoRa and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technologies. The proposed strategy dynamically switches between communication protocols, optimizes energy consumption, and reduces retransmissions under interference conditions by leveraging real-time network topology adjustments and adaptive transmission power control. Through extensive experimental validation, we demonstrate that our mitigation mechanism reduces energy consumption by up to 38% and lowers packet retransmission rates by 47% compared to single-protocol networks under jamming conditions. Additionally, our results indicate that the hybrid LoRa-BLE approach outperforms standalone LoRa and BLE configurations in terms of network resilience, adaptability, and sustained data transmission under attack scenarios. This work advances the state-of-the-art by introducing a multi-protocol interference-resilient communication strategy, paving the way for more robust, energy-efficient, and secure WSN deployments in smart cities, industrial IoT, and critical infrastructure monitoring.
