Implementation of an IEEE 802.15.4 and ZigBee Protocol using the OPNET simulator
Mohammad Reza Sahraei (mrs16 {at} sfu.ca)
Abstract
The IEEE 802.15.4 and ZigBee protocol stack offers a practical application solution
for low cost, low data rate, and low energy consumption characteristics for Wireless
Sensor Networks (WSN). The ZigBee networks facilitate many applications, such as
Commercial Building and Home Automation, Security, Healthcare Medical
Monitoring, Vehicle Monitoring, Agriculture and Environmental Monitoring and so
on. Energy consumption, latency and reliability are critical performance
measurements in most monitoring systems. This project focuses on simulation an
IEEE 802.15.4 and ZigBee protocol using the OPNET simulator.
