This paper analyzes the construction and routing protocols for ZigBee networking layer, and other protocols as well, proposes a method that to develop specific ZigBee protocol suitable for cellular network topology structure, under the standard framework of IEEE802.15.4. The topology control algorithm is introduced into ZigBee protocol realization, combined with routing discovering. To increase the network reliability, optimize the network topology and maximize the network life cycle, a serial strategy is applied such as reducing the broadcast packet and route discovery and balancing energy consumption. Based on all of aforementioned, we design energy efficient multi-hop multi-path routing algorithm, and exhibit the implementation steps.
