Evaluating IEEE 802.15.4 for CPS

This chapter provides a brief introduction of IEEE 802.15.4 and its compatibility toward CPS. IEEE 802.15.4 was not designed for networks that provide guaranteed QoS, while the performance of cyber-physical applications usually depends highly on QoS of the underlying networks. Therefore, it becomes necessary and important to assess the applicability of IEEE 802.15.4 protocol in CPS. Here the performance of IEEE 802.15.4 is analyzed in beacon-enabled and non-beacon-enabled modes, respectively. The network QoS is characterized by several metrics, including effective data rate, packet loss rate, and end-to-end delay. These metrics are examined with respect to different MAC parameter settings.
