Performance Analysis of Quality of Service Parameters for IEEE 802.15.4 Star Topology using MANET routing

Abstract

IEEE 802.15.4 is the emerging next generation standard specifically designed for low-rate wireless personal area networks (LR-WPAN), which suit wireless sensor networks applications. It attempts to provide a low cost, low power and short range wireless networking standards. This paper provides the performance analysis of Quality of Service parameters of WSN based on IEEE 802.15.4 star topology using MANET routing. The data packet delivery ratio, average end-to-end delay, total energy consumption, network lifetime and percentage of time in sleep mode are investigated as the performance metrics. The results show that DSR performs better than DYMO, AODV routing protocols for varying traffic loads in star topology beacon enabled mode.
