Abstract :
This paper presents a novel throughput rate control mechanism for an 802.15.4 wireless sensor network. Power consumption within the network is regulated using anti-windup techniques thereby minimising power loss while simultaneously preserving quality of service (QoS). A full order anti-windup scheme has been designed and tested experimentally on the network. The scheme exhibits good command tracking, disturbance rejection and increased battery life.
