Theoretically, IEEE 802.15.4 is more suitable for resource-constraint ad-hoc network because of its low power consumption characteristic. However, performance of IEEE 802.11 is unknown if its transmission power and receiver sensitivity are limited to match those levels of IEEE 802.15.4. In this pape...
