Abstract :
This paper focuses on the performance measurement upon different terrains in 3D wireless sensor networks. We investigate the impacts of traffic load and operation mode in specific 3D terrains based on Durkin´s propagation model. We also investigate the effects of different beacon interval and super frame duration in the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC super frame. Many comprehensive studies are shown by comparing the simulations results from the various metrics in the beacon-enabled and non-beacon-enabled modes. Our contribution is to construct a simulation model to measure the performance of the IEEE 802.15.4 network via simulation setups that closely model reality and figure out the optimal beacon interval and super frame duration values on specific 3D terrains.
