Abstract
Zigbee, which has the standard IEEE 802. 15. 4. It is advisable method to build wireless personal area network (WPAN) which demands a low power consumption that can be produced by Zigbee technique. Our paper gives measuring efficiency of Zigbee involving the Physical Layer (PL) and Media Access Control (MAC) sub-layer , which allow a simple interaction between the sensors. We model and simulate two different scenarios, in the first one, we tested the topological characteristics and performance of the IEEE802. 15. 4 standard in terms of throughput, node to node delay and figure of routers for three network layouts (Star, Mesh and Cluster Tree) using OPNET simulator. The second scenario investigates the self-healing feature on a mesh topology from earlier design until it supports a large number of end points (>64,000) with dynamic routing. The self-healing is done by removing a router from the network during operation, and seeing the end devices find an alternate path to communicate with the coordinator.
