Review on address assignment mechanism in ZigBee wireless sensor networks
Nikunj saholia, Shraddha Joshi · 2013
Addressing plays an important role in networking. Addresses are used as unique identifiers to identify sensors during data delivery. This paper includes different addressing schemes which are based on ZigBee wireless sensor network. Addressing mechanisms are the techniques for assigning the address to nodes in the network. Wireless sensor network consists of different sensing nodes, when they are added to the network; they are given a unique address for identification. Small wireless sensor networks should be assigned such addressing mechanisms which can achieve good performance. SAAM, DAAM, Long thin wireless sensor network addressing scheme and distribute address assignment scheme are discussed in this paper. All these mechanisms have their properties, limitations and advantages. For assigning the address to any node in the wireless sensor network includes different mechanisms and these addressing mechanisms can be compared in terms of their performance to evaluate which addressing mechanism is most suitable for the different wireless sensor network. All these addressing mechanisms have difference in their performance. KeywordsZigBee, SAAM, DAAM, Long thin WSN, Distributed addressing, Wireless sensor network.
