Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to many advanced technologies that connect various devices through the Internet and enable them to share information over a network in order to automate processes in applications without requiring human interaction, making human life more comfortable. The IEEE 802.15.4 standard (used by Zigbee, 6LoWPAN, and Thread) has been a well-known wireless communication technology for deploying IoT applications with low energy consumption, low cost, low rate, and high reliability. It dedicates the specification for the physical layer and the sub-layer of media access control in the IETF IoT protocol stack. The study in this paper is to provide analyses and evaluations of the performance of the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol in the IoT environment in terms of energy efficiency, energy consumption, and throughput. The simulation results show that the energy efficiency of the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol in non-beacon-enabled mode is better than that of the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol in beacon-enabled mode in peer-to-peer topology. The simulation results also demonstrate that the energy utilization for the idle listening state is the highest within each sensor node in the network.
