Abstract

In this work, the performance of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) based on IEEE 802.15 standard in complex indoor environments is analyzed. By employing an in house developed determistic 3D Ray Launching code, estimation of diverse operational parameters of Bluetooth as well as ZigBee networks for specific Ambient Intelligence applications is shown. The adequate consideration of the topology and morphology of these networks leads to minimizing energy consumption while optimizing their operational performance. This approach can be employed in the massive deployment of WSN in future Smart Cities.
