The structure of these systems and available ways of transmission are defined by the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. The main characteristics of this standard are given in the first part of this article. The second part contains the description of simulation tests that have been realized. Their results make available an evaluation of the effective transmission rate of a transmission channel, the resistance to the phenomenon of hidden station as well as sensibility to the problem of the exposed station.展开更多
