Impact of ZigBee Coordinator on Archimedes' Spiral based Mobile Network Design in 3D

Abstract

ZigBee is recently developed technology which can be implemented in IEEE 802.15.4 standard for a wireless sensor network (WSN). It is specially made for the purpose of control and sensor network and comprises of ZigBee Coordinator, router and end devices. It has low information rate, low power utilization and economical value, which are principle highlights of ZigBee. The network topology may include star, cluster tree or Mesh. The sensor nodes transferring data in the network is generally sent to the coordinator, the coordinator collects sensor information, stores the information in memory, process the data, and direct it to proper node. In this paper, this work is related to the impact of increase in ZigBee Coordinators on a 3D terrain in both static and mobile condition of sink node, to determine its optimum performance. The use of Archimedes' Spiral was introduced to mobility pattern to study its resultant simulation performance metrics.
