The context of this paper is the ZigBee wireless communication standard. ZigBee has gained popularity in market in the recent times due to cost-effectiveness, robustness, reliability, low data rate and low power dissipation. Wide range of residential, commercial and industrial applications have been developed using ZigBee based network. ZigBee technology is based on the IEEE 802.15 standard. In this research paper we describe, analyze and implement the ZigBee Based network. Multiple routing protocols and routing algorithms can be applied in ZigBee networks but in this paper, we have implemented ZigBee using extended AODV protocol in NS2 simulator. The selection of routing protocols and routing strategies depends upon various scenarios specific to a smart home along with the limitation with respect to network throughput and the average network end to end delay. In this paper, different performance metrics (Packet Delivery Ratio and End to End Delay) and the dynamic attributes (Percentage of PDR nodes, Interval of status update message and Wireless Bit Error Rate) have been considered and various observations have been made during the course of simulation. With the proposed implementation, the Bit error rate has improved and reduced end to end delay.
