This paper optimally determines the IEEE 802.15.4 medium access control (MAC) attributes macBeaconOrder (BO) and macSuperframeOrder (SO) (by which the periods of time that the sensor is active and non-active can be computed) such that the overall energy consumption of the network is minimized. Considering an IEEE 802.15.4 beacon-enabled network laid out in a single-hop star topology, we evaluated the performance of the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC through simulation. Numerical results show that the optimal solutions of BO and SO can be obtained for a range of user-specific quality of service requirements, such as proportion of successful packet transmissions and maximum delay constraint.
