IEEE 802.15.4 MAC은 센서 네트워크와 같은 저속, 저 전력 통신을 지원하기 위해 설계 되었다. 하지만 현재의 IEEE 802.15.4 MAC은 센서가 촘촘히 분포한 상황과 같이 충돌이 많이 발생하는 경우를 지원하기엔 부족하다. 우리는 현재의 IEEE 802.15.4 표준이 backoff 범위를 너무 좁은 범위로 제한하여 더 많은 충돌을 야기한다는 것을 밝힌다. 또한 본 논문을 통해 단순히 backoff의 범위를 넓혀 주는 것만으로도 IEEE 802.15.4 MAC으로 하여금 충돌에 대한 탄력성을 보강시키고, 더 나아가 추가적인 최적화 알고리즘을 도입하더라도 기존의 표준 MAC보다 효과적으로 반응하게 함을 보인다.

IEEE 802.15.4 low-rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPAN) are expected to provide ubiquitous networking between small personal/home devices and sensors with low power consumption and low cost features. The technology employs special CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/collision Avoidance) to save power consumption for small or portable WPAN-enabled devices. In this paper, we simulation the slotted CSMA/CA of IEEE 802.15.4 MAC and evaluate its performance limit in order to grasp the characteristics of Medium Access Control (MAC) of IEEE 802.15.4 WPAN.

본 논문에서는 ns-3 기반의 IEEE 802.15.4 모의 성능 평가에 대해 기술한다. IT 기술의 발달과 함께 차세대 전력망인 '스마트 그리드'가 대두되고 있다. 이에 따라 무선 센서들 간의 통신을 위해 IEEE 802.15.4 표준 기술이 채택되고 있다. IEEE 802.15.4 표준에는 beacon-enabled mode 와 non beacon-enabled mode 두 가지 채널 접근 기법이 존재하지만 특정 기법의 용도와 목적에 대해서는 구체적으로 명시되지 않는다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 스마트 그리드 환경에서 IEEE 802.15.4 의 두 채널 접근 기법의 성능을 시험하고 beacon-enabled mode 와 non beacon-enabled mode 간의 성능 분석을 통해 beacon-enabled mode 의 효용성에 대하여 연구한다.

In this paper, the impact of channel sensing methods to IEEE 802.15.4 under the interference of IEEE 802.11b are analyzed. Two different channel sensing methods, energy detection and carrier sense, are considered. An average transmission delay, a throughput, and a power drain rate are used as performance measures. Those performance measures of IEEE 802.15.4 under the interference of IEEE 802.11b are analyzed mathematically. The simulation results are shown to validate the analytic results.

In IEEE 802.15.4a IR-UWB (Impulse Radio Ultra Wideband) systems, it is crucial to acquire initial carrier/timing synchronization and estimate channel response by exploiting the SYNC symbols embedded in each packet. On the other hand, it is also crucial to detect the SFD pattern followed by the header and data symbols to reliably extract the information contained in the packet. In this paper, we propose a reliable SFD detection scheme utilizing some surplus SYNC symbols in addition to SFD symbols to improve the SFD detection performance.

The release of IEEE 802.15.4e specification significantly develops IEEE 802.15.4. The most inspiring improvement is the enhancement for medium access control (MAC) sublayer. To study the performance of IEEE 802.15.4e MAC, in this paper we first present an overview of IEEE 802.15.4e and introduce three MAC mechanisms in IEEE 802.15.4e. And the major concern here is the Time Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH) mode that provides deterministic access and increases network capacity. Then a detailed analytical Markov chain model for TSCH carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA-CA) is presented. Expressions which cover most of the crucial issues in performance analysis such as the packet loss rate, energy consumption, normalized throughput, and average access delay are presented. Finally the performance evaluation for the TSCH mode is given and we make a comprehensive comparison with unslotted CSMA-CA in non-beacon enabled mode of IEEE 802.15.4. It can validate IEEE 802.15.4e network can provide low energy consumption, deterministic access and increase network capacity.

The IEEE 802.15.4 low rate wireless personal area network is a protocol suitable for wireless sensor networks. Thus there has been growing interest in the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol in the home automation networks. This paper proposes a scheduling scheme obtaining optimal parameters regarding the IEEE 802.15.4 frame and subframes in the home automation networks. Guaranteed time slots (GTS) are exploited for the delivery of real-time traffic. Given a set of the requirements for bandwidths and periods assigned to nodes in the network, the beacon interval and the active/inactive subframe duration satisfying the requirements are selected considering the low duty cycle by the proposed scheme. Based on these parameters, analytic results provide the way to efficient use of network resources including energy.

In this paper, we propose a scheme that tunes the backoff period for enhancing the system throughput with estimating the number of devices in IEEE 802.15.4 slotted carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) networks. Since each device does not sense the channel always in IEEE 802.15.4 slotted CSMA/CA networks, a personal area network (PAN) coordinator is used to estimate the number of active devices. The PAN coordinator broadcasts an optimal backoff period for the estimated number of devices through a beacon frame. In order to estimate the number of devices in run time, a simple moving average filter is utilized. We show the performance of our proposed scheme in terms of the estimated number of devices and the system throughput. The simulation results show that our proposed scheme can obtain higher system throughput than the IEEE 802.15.4 standard.
