| Summary: | Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) comprises of
many distributed independent tiny sensors that used to monitor
statistical data of specific environmental conditions such as
temperature, humidity, rain, pressure and many other. WSN use
unlicensed 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM)
radio frequency band for data transmission. WSN applications
are being used in many industries and civilian areas, for various
purposes such as environmental monitoring, habitat monitoring,
traffic monitoring, precision agriculture monitoring, security
monitoring, facility automation and traceability systems.
Deployment of WSN in an outdoor or indoor environment always
raised issue of signal loses and signal interference. In WSN, data
is transmitted over wireless medium which is easily affected by
external aspect such as walls, trees, heavy bushes, multiple signal
interference and others. Currently, IEEE standard 802.15.4
MAC protocol and ZigBee are the most famous protocols which
are been used in WSN industry. In this paper, we have
performed several experiments under various conditions such as
indoor, outdoor, co-existence of Bluetooth to observe the ZigBee
performance and interference effects. The experiments were
performed physically in real environments which showed ZigBee
signal degradation under various indoor and outdoor conditions. |
