Performance Effects of Current Consumption on Radio Receiver Bit Error Rate in IEEE 802.15.4 for Wireless Sensor Networks

This paper investigates the radio receiver Bit Error Rate (BER) at different types of devices in IEEE 802.15.4 Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) for the different current draw parameters: transmit mode, receive mode, sleep mode and idle mode keeping other parameters like: initial energy and power supply same for all motes; Clearly proving that if BER is to be taken into consideration for the performance enhancement then Z1 mote should be implemented in IEEE 802.15.4 WSNs as they produce minimal BER.?
