Performance evaluation of IEEE 802.15.4 based wireless sensor network for small-scale application

الملخص EN

This paper evaluates the performance of IEEE 802.15.4 standard Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) in star topology small scale applications.

The performance of the network is analyzed in terms of end to end delay, maximum throughput and number of network devices with respect to payload.

This analysis which is devoted for biomedical application is performed theoretically and compared with practical analysis using the network simulator Opnet modeler (version 14.5) in order to validate theoretical analysis.
