Abstract :
This paper presents a comparison between the basic channel access mechanisms in IEEE 802.11-2007 and IEEE 802.15.4-2006. Based on a data exchange scenario with unacknowledged data, typical for applications with multi-hop transmissions, the maximum and minimum delays in both standards were calculated.
