Borrowed address assignment algorithm for ZigBee network

Wireless Sensor Network(WSN) adopts the default Distributed Address Assignment Mechanism(DAAM) of ZigBee technology to assign the addresses to the nodes without considering the optimization of the network topology,which causes the waste of network depth.In this paper,the authors proposed Distributed Borrowed Address Assignment(DBAA) algorithm to increase the success rate of joined nodes,which assigned the free addresses from 2-hops neighbors to the nodes for the optimization of the network topology.The theoretical analysis and simulation results show that DBAA algorithm outperforms both DAAM and Single Level Address Reorganization(SLAR) scheme in terms of the success rate of address assignment,communication overhead,and the average time of assigning addresses.
