Desarrollo de un algoritmo para la asignación de direcciones globales en una topologia lineal utilizando el estándar 802.15.4

Abstract

The objective of this project is to develop an algorithm for addressing global addresses in a linear topology with the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. In the first chapter, the general characteristics of a wireless sensor network are reviewed. The IEEE 802.15.4 standard is reviewed, as well as the ZigBee and 6LoWPAN protocols, including their addressing methods. Atmel's ZigBit transceiver module and its development tool, elements necessary to code the algorithm, are studied. The second chapter shows the design of the algorithm with its implementation in code. In addition, an evaluation of the assignment delays is carried out, proposing a mathematical model that allows projecting the time required by the algorithm to assign addresses in an ideal scenario. In the third chapter, the corresponding tests are carried out that allow validating the correct functioning of the algorithm and the pertinent comparisons are made to evaluate the times of the addressing algorithm compared to other protocols. Finally, the fourth chapter shows the conclusions and recommendations obtained from this project.
