A Zigbee network with 12 nodes (end device) and a coordinator is developed to evaluate the performance of the un-slotted CSMA_CA protocol for the two frequency bands 2.4GHz and 900 MHz by varying the BE (Backoff Exponent) parameter . The simulation is effected for BE=1, 2 and 3 to observe the End to End delay which characterizes the response speed of the network. The network implementation and his simulation were effected under Opnet 14.5.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
