Abstract
This research finds the most suited Bit Error Rate (BER) and Power Model for IEEE 802.15.4 network. A total of three BER models and three Power Models were used for testing purposes. Their respective algorithms have been developed as well. alt_ber was found to be most suited as BER model and dra_power was found to be most suited for power model for 802.15.4 based networks. The relationship between BER and throughput has been established and the same has been confirmed by simulating the network. The most suited BER and power model settings were confirmed from the graphs obtained from network performance. This research paper can further be used for future references by all the researchers who aim to study this particular aspect of 802.15.4 based networks.
