Abstract

IEEE 802.15.4 standard is specifically designed for low Rate Wireless Personal Area Network (LR-WPAN) with low data rate and low power capabilities. Due to very low power consumption with duty cycle even less than 0.1, the standard is being widely applied in Wireless Sensor Networks applications. It operates in Beacon and Non Beacon enabled modes. During Beacon enabled mode, it has Contention Access Period (CAP) and optional Contention Free Period. We have analyzed its performance during CAP where slotted CSMA/CA algorithm is used. The performance analysis includes channel access busy, transmission failure chances along with reliability and throughput against all three frequency bands with load variation.
