Abstract
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consists of a large population of sensor nodes capable of computation, communication and sensing. Limited storage, processing, and transmission power are inherent limitations of WSN. IEEE 802.15.4 is a new standard, uniquely designed for low rate Wireless Personal Area Network (LR-WPAN), developed for applications that demand low throughput. Main features of this standard are network ?exibility, low cost, very low power consumption and low data rate in an ad-hoc self-organizing network. In this paper, performance analysis of IEEE 802.15.4 is performed using Qualnet 4.5. Star topology, multi-hop peer to peer network along with MANET routing protocols such as AODV, DSR and DYMO are used for analysis of Quality of Service (QoS) parameters like throughput, packet delivery ratio, average end-to-end delay, jitter, total energy consumption, and network scalability as the performance metrics. The comparative analysis of result show that AODV outperforms other two in star topology whereas DSR has slightly upper hand in multi-hop topology for varying traffic loads, and in beacon enabled mode.
