Abstract
In this paper, Wireless Personal Area Network (IEEE 802.15.4) wireless channel utilization using Memsic (formerly Crossbow) IRIS Motes is measured and compared to ns2.34 simulation and theoretical models. Results show divergence between calculated, simulated and experimental results at higher throughput. Experimental results also highlight the limitations of the MoteWorks framework with regard to channel throughput measurements. A set of mitigation strategies is outlined to improve future research efforts aiming to characterize the validity of simulation models using the Memsic wireless sensor nodes.
