Fast design and verification is becoming a necessity for electronic industry to hit the more and more restrictive market requests. The model-based approach represents a possible way to ensure fast and flexible system design and verification, allowing a quantitative exploration of the space of solutions. In this paper the SystemC environment has been used to design a complete TLM model of IEEE 802.15.4 standard. The TLM abstraction level design allows high simulation speed, high-level performance analysis and an easy evaluation of a large set of performance parameters.
