IEEE 802.15.4 Overview
Low Rate Wireless Personal Area Network (LR-WPAN) Does the Extended Unique ID function as
2.4 GHz (most common). 16 5-MHz channels the MAC address for 802.15.4

address.

IP has hop count limit.
PAN chooses new PAN coordinators based on
what? And does the new coordinator polls
addresses within their network?
RPL protocol is used to elect the coordinator. The
protocol results in a tree topology.

Scenario
• A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is deployed for temperature
monitoring in a smart farm. The network consists of:
PAN Coordinator: [BEACON] "Time Sync - Network ID: 001, Channel: 15"
Step 2: Sensor Nodes Listen to the Beacon
S1, S2, S3: "Beacon received, ready to send data!"

Compared with Beacon-Enabled CSMA, unslotted
CSMA does not have an Inactive Portion. Does that
mean it uses more energy?
Acknowledged Transmissions Unslotted CSMA can have an inactive period during
which no one is transmitting.
