A Non-beaconing ZigBee Network Implementation and Performance Study

— In this paper we present our implementation of a layered ZigBee network and the performance test results using non-beaconing networks. Adding the implemented network layer to an existing IEEE 802.15.4 stack did not affect the throughput in the network. It is also concluded that with knowledge of the network structure an extra added delay between sending packets can reduce the number of packets lost due to channel access failure without decrease in throughput.
