The IEEE 802.15.4 is designed for wireless personal area networks. Indeed, wireless personal area network turns out to help greatly in maintaining a flexible mode of communication within limited area networks. It is in this context that our present study can be set, in which the beacon-enabled mode is enabled with cluster tree topology to reach the scope of a rather extended network, whereby the network turns out to be clustered into several subgroups. Every single subgroup is characterized by its specific duty cycle which is configured by its correspondent personal area network coordinator. Therefore, many modes are enabled in the same network. Based on a very special mathematical model developed by us for energy consumption, the personal area network coordinator detects the actual level of energy in the battery of node. Then, an interesting comparison is made with the multiple thresholds which are already set. After that, both beacon order and superframe order (the standard IEEE 802.15.4 parameters) are recomputed with reference to the remaining energy.

IEEE 802.15.4 standard is widely used in wireless personal area networks (WPANs). The devices transmit data during two periods: contention access period (CAP) by accessing the channel using CSMA/CA and contention free period (CFP), which consists of guaranteed time slots (GTS) allocated to individual devices by the personal area network (PAN). However, the use of GTS slot size may lead to severe bandwidth wastage if  the traffic pattern is not fit or only a small portion of GTS slot is used by allocated device. The proposed scheme devides the GTS slot and then optimizes the GTS slot size by exploiting the value of superframe order (SO) information. The proposed scheme was tested through simulations and the results show that the new GTS allocation scheme perform better than the original IEEE 802.15.4 standard in terms of average transmitted packets, throughput, latency and probability of successful packets.

The IEEE 802.15.4 standard defines the PHY and MAC layer specifications for Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (LR-WPANs). With the proliferation of many time-critical applications with real-time delivery, low latency, and/or specific bandwidth requirements, Guaranteed Time Slots (GTS) are increasingly being used for reliable contention-free data transmission by nodes within beacon-enabled WPANs. To evaluate the performance of the 802.15.4 GTS management scheme, this paper introduces a new GTS simulation model for OMNeT++ / MiXiM. Our GTS model considers star-topology WPANs within the 2.4 GHz frequency band, and is in full conformance with the IEEE 802.15.4 – 2006 standard. To enable thorough investigation of the behaviors and impacts of different attacks against the 802.15.4 GTS mechanism, a new GTS attacks simulation model for OMNeT++ is also introduced in this paper. Our GTS attacks model is developed for OMNeT++ / NETA, and is integrated with our GTS model to provide a single inclusive OMNeT++ simulation model for both the GTS mechanism and all known-to-date attacks against it.
