PROTOCOL STACK

IEEE 802.15.4 is a simple packet data protocol for

lightweight wireless networksFocus on

ReliabilitySimplicityLow powerLow cost

OVERVIEW 802.15.4

FeaturesActivation/Deactivation of radio

transceiverEnergy Detection (ED)Link Quality Indication (LQI)Channel SelectionClear Channel Assessment (CCA)Transmission/Reception of packets over

physical medium

IEEE 802.15.4 PHY

PHY protocol data unitSHR – allows receiving device to

synchronize with bit streamPHR – contains frame length informationVariable length payload carrying MAC sub

layer frame
