Abstract
IEEE 802.15.4 is gaining attention of industry, medical, and academic fields because of its use in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and wireless body area networks (WBANs). Power consumption is a challenge because the sensor nodes are battery operated. Power wastage is caused due to network management overheads, idle listening, and collisions. In this paper, we determine the energy model for 802.15.4 using the Castalia-3.2 simulator. We accomplish this by using a full factorial experimental design using the parameters superframe order (SO), beacon order (BO), packet rate, number of nodes, and guaranteed time slots (GTSs). Our model can serve as an aid in determining suitable values for the parameters, to ensure lower energy consumption. Our model shows that the ratio of SO–BO and the combined packet rate are the most significant parameters that affect energy consumption.
