IEEE 802.15.4
• IEEE 802.15.4 is a standard which specifies the physical layer and mac layer for low-rate wireless personal area networks (LR-WPANs). • It’s defined in 2003.• The ZigBee technology is based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard.
6
IEEE 802.15.4(Cont.)
• IEEE 802.15.4 standard has two types of devices a Full-Function device (FFD) and a Reduced-Function device (RFD).• The FFD is capable of all network functionalities and can operate in
three different modes: it can operate as a PAN coordinator, a coordinator or it can serve simply as a device. • An RFD device is low on resources and memory capacity and is
capable only of very simple applications such as a node which senses light or temperature.

IEEE 802.11ah
• The IEEE 802.11ah standard is one of the candidate standards for IoT and Machine to Machine (M2M) applications which is still in its preliminary stage of development. • IEEE 802.11ah draft 1.0 was conducted in September 2013.• The standardization should be completed approximately by March
2016.
14
IEEE 802.11ah(Cont.)
• IEEE 802.11ah using sub 1-GHz frequency to transfer data.• It’s a new standard for IoT, because it can transfer a long range more
than 1000 meter, least 100 kbps data rate, and compatible with 802.11 WLAN legacies.
The common standards we use everyday: • IEEE 802.11n 2.4GHz• IEEE 802.11ac 5GHz
15
IEEE 802.11ah(Cont.)
IEEE 802.11ah advantages:• Low power consumption• Long battery life• Burst data transmission• Easy Setup• High Transmission range• On-Hop reach• Reliability

Free space path loss equation

IEEE 802.11ah(Cont.)
• The basic access to the medium in IEEE 802.11ah is using the DCF based on CSMA/CA scheme.
IEEE 802.11 MAC defined two Coordination Function :• Distributed Coordination Function (DCF)• Point Coordination Function (PCF)
19
IEEE 802.11ah(Cont.)
The DCF scheme can use two different mechanisms: • two-way handshaking technique known as basic access mechanism.• four-way handshaking technique known as RTS/CTS method.

IEEE 802.11ah(Cont.)
• IEEE 802.11ah use cases, backhaul networks for sensor and meter
21
Simulation Setting
• Using OMNeT++ to simulate.• OMNeT++ is an open-source simulator.• C++• It’s useful for simulating the communication networks, and other
distributed and parallel systems.
22
Simulation Setting(Cont.)
• Simulation Topology• The AP is located in the middle of the playground. • Other nodes are located in a uniformly distributed
manner.• To increase the simulation accuracy, each
simulation scenario is randomly repeated 100 times and average of results is calculated by using the Monte Carlo method.
23
Simulation Setting(Cont.)
• Common setting for both standards.
24
Simulation Setting(Cont.)
Setting for IEEE 802.15.4 Setting for IEEE 802.11ah
25
Simulation Setting(Cont.)
• For instance, the size of payload is chosen 256 Bytes in both standards, even though the maximum payload in IEEE 802.15.4 is 127 Bytes.• In simulate IEEE 802.15.4 standard, it’s removed the CFP period.• In simulate IEEE 802.11ah standard, it’s using 2-way handshaking.
26
Simulation Setting(Cont.)
2 type for simulate• Ideal channel• Non-ideal channel
path loss [dB]
where d is the distance between transmitter and receiver in meter.
27
Simulation Setting(Cont.)
2 different traffic to simulate• Saturated traffic
Each nodes always have a packet to send.• Low traffic
Each node generates a packet with the inter arrival time of 100 ms with random starting time.
28
Simulation Setting(Cont.)
• It’s using a fairness measure, because of in non-ideal channel the signal is loss in the path, the closer nodes have higher probability to send their packet. • Fairness measure is calculated by Raj Jain's equation:
where n stands for the number of nodes and Xi is the throughput of the ith node.

Conclusion
• The IEEE 802.11ah is better in term of throughput but in the case of the energy consumption, the IEEE 802.15.4 still outperforms the IEEE 802.11ah specially in a dense network and non-saturated traffic.
