Abstract


Sensor networks have been a wide research area, during the last years. Wireless sensor networks are distributed network structures in which many sensors connect wirelessly to communicate with one another. In this paper the IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee is used due to its low-power, rate and cost which allows the communication of two way wireless sensor network. In this paper IEEE 802.15.4 performance is analyzed based on OPNET simulator which allows the abilities of generating correct results and analysis to identify the actual behaviour of the real system. With this simulator program, the effect of performance parameters like throughput, data traffic received and data traffic sent for three system topology scenarios are presented.

Keywords: WSN, IEEE 802.15.4, performance.
