title = "Simulation of Wireless Sensor Node Transmission Over a Multiple Access Channel",
abstract = "Smart Grids are emerging as a sustainable technology that can greatly improve the quality, cost and efficiency of electrical power distribution. Wireless communication technology, in particular wireless sensor networks, are being considered as a viable solution to Smart Grid communication requirements. Homes have multiple electrical appliances that may communicate concurrently. In addition, electrical appliances induce white noise that can interfere with the wireless signal. In this paper an indoor wireless sensor multiple access communication environment is simulated based on the IEEE 802.15.4 wireless communication standard. An indoor wireless propagation model is implemented and the effects of signal interference on the wireless signal are examined.",
