Compare Zigbee With SMAC and LEACH

[Muhsin Atto]

Dear Athanassios Boulis,

Can I compare ZigbeeMAC with SMAC and LEACH  to find out how LEACH with SMAC can perform better than Zigbee in different situations, for instance
different size of networks, different data rates and duty cycles.

When I simulate ZigbeeMAC  with large number of nodes let say 100 nodes,  I get the following errors:
<!> Error in module (Mac802154) SN.node[94].Communication.MAC (id=862) at event #4929, t=0.03451869462: Model error: 802.15.4 MAC internal error, isChannelClear() function called when radio is NOT READY.

Do you have any idea what may be the problem ?
THanks in advance.
Regrads,
Muhsin

Dear Athanassios Boulis,

I appreciate your reply,
Yes I have searched the forum for this errors several times but could not find any help to fix my problem.  But when I set PANCoordinator parameter in ini filefor Zigbee to be false the problems was solved.  However I need to have at least one PAN coordinator to collect data and compare with other protocols like SMAC and LEACH  IS NOT IT ? please correct me if I am wrong.

I think I need to have a good ini file  that setting parameters(parameters need to be set in order to avoid above problem) properly to compare zigbee and other WSN MAC and routing protocols.  

Best,
Muhsin
