IEEE 802.15.4: Wireless Transducer Networks
Abstract
This paper addresses the application of the emerging IEEE 802.15.4 wireless network standard for space applications. An overview of the 802.15.4 standard is presented (Ref 1) which emphasises the features that are proposed to be of major benefit to spaceborne implementations. The relationship, and importance, of the ZIGBEE Alliance initiatives are also discussed. The proposed spaceborne applications areas for IEEE802.15.4 are presented together with their associated benefits. Finally the planned ESA activities in this area are presented.
