INTRODUCTION

ZigBee standard is a famous low cost and low power work network standards for short distance wireless networking worldwide with a characterized rate of 250 kbps (appropriate for irregular or occasional data). The vast majority of the ZigBee nodes operate productively in rest mode and offer diminished average power consumption. Work networking gives high constancy and more wide range. The IEEE 802.15.4 standard is delivered for personal area networks and backings physical and data interface layers for Low data Rate Wireless Personal Area Network. The IEEE 802.15.4 standard is improved for the execution of ZigBee by including network and an application system and in addition security layers.

NEED FOR ZIGBEE

There is more number of standards that deliver mid to high data rates for PC LANs, voice, video, et cetera. Regardless, there has not been a wireless standard that tends to the issues of control devices and sensors. Controls and Sensors don't require high bandwidth anyway they do require low energy consumption and low latency for long battery lives and for immense device clusters. 1. There are numerous exclusive wireless systems manufactured these days to take care of issues that don't require high data rates however they require low current deplete and low cost. 2. These restrictive wireless systems were planned in light of the fact that there were no such standards to meet their necessities. These systems are making interoperability issues with each other and with current technologies.

ZigBee Network and Architecture

The Coordinator is in a general sense responsible for initializing ZigBee network. Network introduction includes the following advances: • Search a Radio Channel- The Co-coordinator looks through a reasonable radio channel (for the most part it has slightest movement). This hunt can likewise be constrained to usable channels - for instance, wireless LAN working frequencies are kept away from.

be acquired or can be pre-decided powerfully by checking different networks utilizing a similar frequency channel and relegating a PAN ID that may not strife with theirs. The Co-coordinator appoints a network address likewise to itself. For the most part, that address is 0x0000. • To Start the Network-The Coordinator is configuring and starting in Coordinator mode. It will react to inquiries from different devices those needs to join the network.
