Title
Enabling IEEE 802.15.4 cluster-tree topologies in OMNeT++
Abstract
The IEEE 802.15.4 standard jointly with the ZigBee specification is becoming one of the most popular technologies for the development of Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (LR-WPANs). 802.15.4 Cluster-Tree topologies appear as an appealing and standard compliant solution for many applications of home automation, medical sensing, tele-monitoring, etc. In this paper we present the enhancements made to the current IEEE 802.15.4 model in OMNeT++ to support this topology as well as different algorithms to schedule and dimension the Superframe Durations in order to avoid Beacon collisions in the network. An intuitive visual idea and a check of the whole process can be performed with OMNeT++'s Plove tool.
