In the modern world among all network technologies the wireless technologies occupy a special place.
We have the necessity to develop and implement new algorithms and protocols in wireless technologies. The
main and most perspective direction in wireless systems is the design of systems for monitoring and control
of object parameters. Special place in this direction is occupied by wireless sensor networks (WSN). The aim
of the research is to study the protocols of wireless sensor networks and their synchronization algorithms
using modern modeling environment OMNET++. The main tasks of the research are to study WSN standards,
WSN protocol such as IEEE 802.15.4 WPAN and its modeling with efficiency assessment. The developed
model made it possible to verify algorithms and evaluate the performance of network nodes, network
bandwidth and efficient power consumption.
Key words: wireless technologies, wireless sensor networks, self-organizing networks, IEEE 802.15.4
