Wireless Personal Area Networks provides an in-depth
analysis of the recent IEEE 802.15.4 standard for low data rate
wireless personal area networks (LR-WPANs), including suggestions
to improve performance and comparisons with the related 802.15.1
(Bluetooth) standard. It assesses the suitability of the standard
for the development and deployment of wireless sensor networks as
well as providing guidance and insight into the relative advantages
and disadvantages of various performance solutions.
Wireless Personal Area Networks:
* Provides a comprehensive, in-depth look at the issues
surrounding WPAN network operation and performance.
* Investigates multi-cluster networks and compares how they can
be implemented.
* Analyzes the performance of a single cluster under different
traffic and power management regimes including uplink vs. downlink
traffic, acknowledged vs. unacknowledged traffic, saturation vs.
non-saturation, and the like.
* Discusses security issues in WPANs such as different security
threats, their impact on performance, standard security mechanisms,
and security policies.
* Compares the IEEE 802.15.4 standard with the related Bluetooth
IEEE 802.15.1 standard in terms of suitability for implementing
wireless sensor networks.
This reference is a valuable tool for developers and researchers
getting acquainted with various aspects of IEEE 802.15.4
technology. Graduate students studying courses such as Performance
Evaluation, Wireless Sensor Networks and Queuing Theory will also
find this book very insightful.
