Fundamental of IEEE 802.15.4 and Its Application on Vehicular Wireless ADHOC Network

摘要

IEEE 802.15.4 is a wireless personal area network and it belongs to IEEE 802 family. The IEEE 802.15.4 is designed for low cost and low power consumption. It is the basis for the Zigbee and MIWI. In this paper we will highlight some of the basic features of IEEE 802.15.4 wireless network protocol and its application on vehicular communication. A vehicular communication is a wireless vehicular adhoc network which allows vehicles to talk to each other and exchanging real time data among themselves. The use of IEEE 802.15.4 in vehicular network has many advantages and the result shows the possibility of avoiding many road accidents by vehicular networking system using low cost IEEE 802.15.4.
