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 spite of the large interest in the 802.15.4 standard, no realistic experimental research of its behaviour exists to date except a few works by simulations and analytical modeling. In this paper, we have established realistic environment of IEEE 802.15.4 network and analyze its behaviour under various conditions as like 1) maximum throughput of 802.15.4 MAC, 2) MAC fairness. and 3) throughput and m rate under co-existence of 802.11 Wi-Fi wireless networks.

IEEE 802.15.4 is one of the most widely adopted physical layer standards in the area of LR-WPAN(Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Network). Numerous previous researches have contributed to deep insights on energy efficiency, transmission throughput, and reliability that IEEE 802.15.4 delivers to the LR-WPAN. As a research that is orthogonal and complementary to previous researches, we explore the implementation and practical performance evaluation of IEEE 802.15.4 MAC software. We implement the MAC software from the perspective of the networking stack, exploring the issues raised when the MAC software serves as a functional component in a complete networking stack consisting of MAC, network as well as well as application support layers. The performance is evaluated on a realistic experimental software environment integrated with operating system, networking stack, and applications.

This paper aims at designing an impulse-radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) transceiver, especially targeting the IEEE 802.15.4a indoor ranging and communication systems. We first investigate the IEEE 802.15.4a IR-UWB signals and suggest the full-digital transceiver architecture accordingly. Since the wireless systems equipped with the impulse signal have the property of low-duty cycle, i.e., discontinuity in time, while the conventional systems takes the continuous signals, it is required to reconfigure the system design, including link budget. Following brief introduction to our IEEE 802.15.4a IR-UWB system hardware, we finally examine the ranging performance in indoor environments to verify our system design.

WBAN(Wireless Body Area Network) operating around the human body aims at medical and non-medical service at the same time. and it is the short-range communication technology requiring low-power, various data rate and high reliability. Various studies is performing for IEEE 802.15.4, because IEEE 802.15.4 can provide high compatibility for operate WBAN among communication standard satisfiable these requirements. Meanwhile, in the case of coexisting many IEEE 802.15.4-based WBAN, signal interference and collision are the main cause that is decreasing data reliability. but IEEE 802.15.4 Standard does not consider about coexistence of many networks. so it needs improvement. In this paper, To solve about this problem, identify coexistence problem of IEEE 802.15.4-based WBAN by preliminary experiments. and propose a scheme to mitigate the reliability decrease at multiple coexistence WBAN. The proposed scheme can be classified in two steps. The first step is avoidance to collision on the CFP through improving data transmission. The second step is mitigation collision through converting channel access method. Proposed scheme is verified the performance by performing comparison experiment with Standard-based WBAN.

In this paper the platform system for IEEE 802.15.4 Low Rate WPAN is designed and fabricated. IEEE 802.15.4 Low Rate WP AN system serves the functions and realization of home-area network. According to the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, there are two modes, One is BPSK modulation in 868/915MHz frequency band. The other is O-QPSK modulation in 2.45GHz frequency band. In this paper we implemented the platform system mounted in one PCB board in 868/915MHz frequency band of IEEE 802.15.4 Low Rate WPAN system. We measured that the platform system which consists of digital part and RF part has good performance. Also RF part is realized by design and fabrication of the RF transceiver IC. The key issue is to make the platform system which provides the function of Low Rate WPAN system to meet the requirement of IEEE 802.15.4 standards.

In this paper, we are performance analysis of IEEE 802.15.4b LR-WAPN(Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Network; Zigbee) system noncoherent receivers at 915MHz under Jamming. IEEE 802.15.4b concerns itself with devices at 915MHz, which employ a higher data rate of up to 250 kbps, and which use O-QPSK(Offset Quradrature Phase Shift Keying modulation with DSSS(Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum). Communication between devices can still be hampered by the presence of interferers outside the network, whether the interference be intentional or not. Hence the receivers can not have stable receiving condition due to worse BER. To solve this problem, we present a mere stabilized receiver system of using noncoherent detection. In this paper, we look instead at the effect of jamming, i.e. intentional interference, on the BER performance of IEEE 802.15.4 devices.

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.
