Popis: Wireless technology has been seen as the communication technology of the future. One of many challenges is the support for predictability and time-bounded communications over this technology. In this way, the control of temporary partitions, called inaccessibility, is of fundamental importance. For this reason, this paper makes a characterization of inaccessibility in wireless networks and describes an exhaustive study about it on IEEE 802.15.4 wireless standard. The knowledge of inaccessibility incidents and their duration is a first step to define means to control network partitioning and therefore to form a basis for supporting real-time communications over wireless technology.
