Its simple infrastructure, intermediate range and good power performance make it a candidate for applications that require a reasonably low throughput but a very high device lifetime and power efficiency. An experimental power analysis of an 802.15.4 implementation is carried out, providing a detailed power model of the protocol based on concurrent state machines; resulting power model is then used to generate a customized simulator. The model has been validated through a set of experiments and provides good accuracy; results are discussed, considering in particular use of the model as a basis for subsequent optimizations on 802.15.4 networks.}, keywords = {low power design, modeling, wireless sensor networks}, doi = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/CCNC.2007.135}, author = {Mura, Marcello and Paolieri, Marco and Negri, Luca and Fabbri, Fabio and Sami, Mariagiovanna} }
