Abstract

Wireless Personal Area Networks(WPANs) is one of the promising candidates for interconnections between Wireless Sensor Network. The standard IEEE 802.15.4 is designed specifically to achieve low power transmissions in low rate and short distance WPAN. Previous studies indicate that the probability of any two devices in an infrastructure network unheard of each other is around 41%. The unheard devices are called hidden terminal problem which results in low utilization of bandwidth and unfairness in channel access. A Cross-layer scheme is used in order to overcome the hidden terminal problem and the transmission range is increased. The performance graph experimentally proves that the goodput is increased with the reduced power consumption and with the increase in transmission range the Energy Efficiency is compared with the nodal density.
