ABSTRACT: The Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is
spatially distributed autonomous sensor to sense special task. WSN like ZigBee
network forms simple interconnecting, low power, and low processing capability
wireless devices. The ZigBee devices facilitate numerous applications such as
pervasive computing, security monitoring and control. ZigBee end devices
collect sensing data and send them to ZigBee Coordinator. The Coordinator
processes end device requests. The effect of a large number of random
unsynchronized requests may degrade the overall network performance. An
effective technique is particularly needed for synchronizing available node’s
request processing to design a reliable ZigBee network. In this paper, region
based priority mechanism is implemented to synchronize request with Tree
Routing Method. Riverbed is used to simulate and analyze overall ZigBee network
performance. The results show that the performance of the overall priority
based ZigBee network model is better than without a priority based model. This
research paves the way for further designing and modeling a large scale ZigBee
network.
