The release of IEEE 802.15.4 PHY-MAC standard represents a milestone in developing of commercial wireless sensor network pursuing low power and low cost. In this paper, IEEE 802.15.4 Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol was analysed at the point of power consumption. This analysis measured the amount of the rest of power after transmitting data with beacon enabled mode and the power consumption of each node in the time period. ns-2 simulation is used to verify the analysis.

In this paper, a new clear channel assessment (CCA) method: cascaded-CCA, is proposed. The primary motivation for the proposed approach is to integrate the respective advantages of two standard CCA mechanisms, energy detect and preamble detect, to arrive at a new dual threshold CCA family that can provide greater flexibility towards tuning MAC performance. Cascaded-CCA integrates energy efficiency of the energy detector (ED) and the reliability of the preamble detector (PD). The probability of detection/false alarm and power consumption of cascaded-CCA in the CCA modules of IEEE 802.11b are analyzed and compared with ED and PD as an example. The performance of cascaded-CCA is explored via MATLAB simulations that implement the CCA modules and medium access control (MAC) protocol for IEEE 802.11 and IEEE 802.15.4. Simulation results showed that cascaded-CCA improves the energy efficiency significantly compared to ED-only or PD-only CCA. In addition, ED, PD, and cascaded CCA are applied to a cognitive network scenario to validate the effectiveness of the proposed cascaded-CCA.

In this paper, we propose a scheme for real-time data retransmission in LR-WPAN to support the required QoS even in the severe channel error environments. In IEEE 802.15.4a, as the user data rate is supported up to 850Kbps, the real-time streaming data can be transferred more easily. In this research, we study the beacon-enabled mode in IEEE 802.15.4 LR-WPAN standard. In the proposed scheme, special slots are dynamical1y assigned for retransmission of the packet that fails during a real-time data service, and in the severe channel error environments a time diversity is acquired. Analytical results show that the proposed scheme is more robust and achieves a much higher throughput than the previous protocol in LR-WPAN.

IEEE 802.15.4e-TSCH is recognized as a wireless industrial sensor network standard used in IoT systems. To ensure both power savings and reliable communications, the TSCH standard uses techniques including channel hopping and bandwidth reserve. In TSCH mode, scheduling is crucial because it allows sensor nodes to select when data should be delivered or received. Because a wide range of applications may necessitate energy economy and transmission dependability, we present a distributed approach that uses a cluster tree topology to forecast scheduling requirements for the following slotframe, concentrating on the Poisson model. The proposed Optimized Minimal Scheduling Function (OMSF) is interested in the details of the scheduling time intervals, something that was not supported by the Minimal Scheduling Function (MSF) proposed by the 6TSCH group. Our contribution helps to deduce the number of cells needed in the following slotframe by reducing the number of negotiation operations between the pairs of nodes in each cluster to settle on a schedule. As a result, the cluster tree network's error rate, traffic load, latency, and queue size have all decreased.

Remarkable advances in wireless communication technology have enabled communications among people who are far away from each other. In recent, the needs of local area voice communication using a wireless system based on low-cost and simple hardware are rapidly rising. However, since these applications require that the multi-users communicate on the same wireless channel in a small area, the existing voice technologies are not suitable for directly applying to these applications. Therefore, in this paper I propose a novel idea enabling multi-user voice communication. In particular, as a short range wireless solution, I employ the IEEE 802.15.4 based on low power and low cost. However, since originally the standard is not developed for voice communication, we extend the original scheme to be suitable for the voice communication by utilizing the extended concept of GTS. The capacity and validity of the proposed scheme are evaluated through quantitative analysis in various voice compression rates.

IIoT, the IoT technology applied to the industrial field, is being used as a monitoring technology for increasing in production rate and safety of workers. However, monitoring through the construction of IIoT network using Ethernet and RS485 in production lines where dozens to hundreds of machine tools are manufacturing components, have difficulties of infrastructure cost and network flexibility and fluidity. Therefore, in this paper, using IEEE 802.15.4 standard WSN device to construct a Ad-Hoc WSN in the production line. In addition, the transmission period and order of the sensor nodes are set by applying the EtherCAT communication method in which the payload frames are shared by all the sensor nodes. From this, we have overcome the problem of reliability decline and real-time issue due to the packet collision of wireless network and confirmed that it is a wireless network routing method that can be used in the actual industrial field.

This paper presents the experimental results of a low-power low-cost RF transceiver for the 915 MHz band IEEE 802.15.4b standard. Low power and low cost are achieved by optimizing the transceiver architecture and circuit design techniques. The proposed transceiver shares the analog baseband section for both receive and transmit modes to reduce the silicon area. The RF transceiver consumes 11.2 mA in receive mode and 22.5 mA in transmit mode under a supply voltage of 1.8 V, in which 5 mA of quadrature voltage controlled oscillator is included. The proposed transceiver is implemented in a 0.18 ${\mu}m$ CMOS process and occupies 10 $mm^2$ of silicon area.

For low-power sensor networks, a compact design of advanced encryption standard (AES) algorithm is needed. A very small AES core for ZigBee devices that accelerates computation in AES algorithms is proposed in this paper. The proposed AES core requires only one S-Box, which plays a major role in the optimization. It consumes less power than other block-wide and folded architectures because it uses fewer logic gates. The results show that the proposed design significantly decreases power dissipation; however, the resulting increased clock cycles for 128-bit block data processing are reasonable for IEEE 802.15.4 standard throughputs.

6LoWPAN based on IEEE 802.15.4 is a realistic standard platform for various Internet of Things (IoT) applications. To bootstrap the LoWPAN (Low-power Wireless Personal Area Network), each device must perform 6LoWPAN-ND address registration to assign a unique IPv6 address. Without adequate security mechanisms, 6LoWPAN-ND is vulnerable to a variety of security attacks including corrupted node attacks. Several security mechanisms have been proposed as a supplement to the vulnerability, but the vulnerability exists because it relies solely on IEEE 802.15.4 hop-by-hop security. In this paper, we propose and analyze a vulnerability of 6LoWPAN-ND address registration and a new security mechanism suitable for preventing the attack of damaged node. It also shows that the proposed security mechanism is compatible with the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard and is more efficient than the mechanism proposed in the IETF 6 lo WG.
