Performance Evaluation of Beacon Enabled IEEE 802.15.4 MAC for Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks under NS-2

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has a large number of nodes capable of sensing, communicating and computing. WSNs have limitations due to limited storage, processing and transmission power. The IEEE802.15.4 Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol is used for low-rate wireless personal area network (LR-WP...
