Abstract

The1IEEE 802.15.3 is an emerging technology for high data rate wireless multimedia applications in Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPAN). In this paper, a discrete event simulation model has been implemented using OPNET2 Modeler to simulate the essential characteristics of the IEEE 802.15.3 MAC protocol. The model allows for studying multiple channel access mechanisms defined by the standard and some network management features. Using this model, we have evaluated this protocol over different traffic scenarios. It is shown how network configuration parameters could influence aggregate throughput performance.
