Abstract

This paper introduces two protocols for communication in infrastructure networks consisting of a central server, stationary basestations and mobile devices. Mobile devices use IEEE 802.15.4 to communicate with the basestations. Among other things, the proposed protocols differ in their location management and in the routing of downlink and uplink packets. Through extensive simulations the protocols are compared with the focus on latency and packet loss metrics. The strength of each protocol depends on the traffic pattern caused by an application. This paper concludes with a recommendation for the usage of each protocol.
