Comparative Performance Investigations of different scenarios for 802.15.4 WPAN

TL;DR

This paper compares the performance of different WPAN topologies, showing that cluster topology outperforms star and ring in throughput and overall efficiency.

Contribution

It provides a comparative analysis of cluster, star, and ring topologies for 802.15.4 WPANs, highlighting the superior performance of the cluster topology.

Findings

Cluster topology achieves the highest throughput (79.887 kbps).

Star topology has moderate performance (31.815 kbps).

Ring topology performs the worst (1.179 kbps).

Abstract

This paper investigates the performance of WPAN based on various topological scenarios like: cluster, star and ring. The comparative results have been reported for the performance metrics like: Throughput, Traffic sent, Traffic received and Packets dropped. Cluster topology is best in comparison with star and ring topologies as it has been shown that the throughput in case of cluster topology (79.887 kbits / sec) as compared to star (31.815 kbits / sec) and ring (1.179 kbits / sec).
