In this paper, we analyze the performance of different node density of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) operating under the IEEE Standard in the beacon-enabled mode. The motivation for evaluating the beacon-enabled mode is due to its flexibility for WSN applications as compared to the nonbeacon enabled mode. The analysis is based on an accurate OPNET simulation model which supports slotted Carrier Sense Multiple Access Mechanism with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) mechanism and Guaranteed Time Slot (GTS). |
