Abstract

Wireless adoption in industries is gaining momentum. With the recent development on the standardization front by virtue of IEEE 802.15.4 (Zigbee), the critical task of industrial process monitoring and control can be undertaken wirelessly. This switching over to wireless is, however, in the investigative stages with a few early adoptions in the industry. This work studies the performance of an IEEE 802.15.4 based IPMAC network using star topology in a simulated environment. Results so obtained have been analyzed. General recommendations have been made regarding issues pertaining to time criticality and packet loss.
