What is it about?

In this paper is proposed a simulation framework for ZigBee technology. It implements modified algorithm for the construction of a priority-based and energy-balanced WPAN network and visualize the method of transmission. The results of the conducted experiments are given.

Why is it important?

ZigBee is a wireless technology, which provides low power consumption of devices in personal area network (WPAN) for low data rate applications that require long battery life and secure networking. ZigBee gives effective ways of supporting of QoS (Quality of Service), functionality and manageability, because ZigBee devices can transmit data over long distances (more than 100 meters) by passing data through a mesh network of intermediate devices to reach more distant ones.

Perspectives

The presented algorithm determines the priorities of the devices by the method of pricing, where the priority of the end devices and the energy level of the routers appear as price they are willing to pay. It has created simulation environment for its implementation, which allows visualization of the Beacon-Only-Period method of transmission among devices in ZigBee tree network topology.
