Abstract

LR-WPAN is Low-Rate wireless personal area network standard IEEE 802.15.4. This paper is to establish path loss models for predicting wireless data transmission performance for IEEE 802.15.4 protocol standard. We use two different path-loss models to check the performance of network. Applying the channel models in our OMNeT++ simulation Mobility Framework environment for IEEE 802.15.4 systems, we find that the simulated performance of these models gives different results for both models. We show that these solutions increase the network performance and decreases energy consumption significantly.
