Abstract

This paper proposes an analytical performance model of IEEE 802.15.4 in the presence of hidden nodes. Conventional 802.15.4 mathematical models assume ideal situations where every node can detect the transmission signal of every other nodes different from the realistic environments. Since nodes can be randomly located in real environments so that some nodes' presence is hidden from other ones, this assumption leads to wrong performance evaluation of 802.15.4. For solving this problem, we develop an extended performance model which combines the traditional 802.15.4 performance model with one for accounting the presence of hidden nodes. The extended model predicts the rapid performance degradation of 802.15.4 due to the small number of hidden nodes. The performance, for example, degrades by 62% at maximum when 5% of the total nodes are hidden. These predictions are confirmed to be equal to those of ns-2 simulations by less than 6% difference.
