Abstract

This paper investigates the maximum throughput and minimum delay of the new IEEE 802.15.4-standard. This standard was designed as a highly reliable and low-power protocol working at a low data rate and offers a beaconed and unbeaconed version. We will give the exact formulae for a transmission between one sender and one receiver for the unbeaconed version as this one has the least overhead. Further, the influence of the different address schemes, i.e. no addresses or the use of long and short addresses, is investigated. It is shown that the maximum throughput is not higher than 163 kbps when no addresses are used and that the maximum throughput drops when the other address schemes are used. Finally, we will measure the throughput experimentally in order to validate our theoretical analysis.
