Abstract

We present a performance analysis supported by IEEE 802.15.4 standard for wireless networks. The analysis was performed in different network topologies in the frequency band of 2400 MHz for indoor environments, taking into account latency measurements. Our aproach considers the timeout in: the serial interface, the MAC layer, the physical layer and the influence of other workstations that have the same probabilities of network access. Finally, we propose statistical models of traffic behavior; these models can be used to determine the maximum amount of devices and routers that must be connected to the network without affecting traffic demands. Our methodology represents a tool to size and plan networks based on IEEE 802.15.4 standard.
