Abstract

In the wireless communication, a major source of energy consumption is the idle listening problem. The IEEE 802.15.4 beacon-enable mode is designed to consume less energy, but it still has a serious idle listening because of its fixed active period. In this paper, we analyze the idle listening of IEEE 802.15.4 beacon-enable mode and evaluate its energy consumptions with various factors such as the data traffic, super-frame duration and data frame sizes.
