IEEE802.15.4 standard for Wireless Sensor Network
(WSN) provides low-power transmission in the low-rate wireless
personal area network (WPAN). It has three types of topology:
star, peer-to-peer and cluster tree. Star topology has limit to
expand network. Peer-to-peer topology has a complex multihop
routing during network expansion due to the large number of
full-function devices. A full-function device can act as
coordinator and personal area network coordinator (PAN-C).
Cluster tree topology is preferable because it can expand
networks using less number of full-function devices and thus
reduces complexity in routing messages. A cluster tree topology
consists of a wireless PAN-C, several cluster coordinators and a
number of end devices. The coordinators periodically transmit
beacon frames to one another to allow synchronization and
communication. However, collision will happen if the
coordinators transmit beacon frames at the same time and will
degrade the network performance. Different mechanisms have
been introduced to solve the collision problem and one of the
mechanisms is superframe adjustment and beacon transmission
scheme (SABTS). SABTS calculates the precise time for beacon
transmission by assigning an accurate value of beacon order and
superframe order for PAN-C, cluster coordinators and end
devices. As the number of cluster coordinator increases, SABTS
method reiterates the calculation for beacon transmission time
numerously. Hence, in order to decrease the iteration, this paper
introduces clustered coordinator SABTS (CC-SABTS) by
clustering coordinator nodes that are separated by two length
radius. The performance of CC-SABTS is simulated and
evaluated using NS2 simulation software. Result shows that CCSABTS
provides better average throughput, packet delivery ratio
and end-to-end delay compared to the conventional SABTS.
