Research on Networking with ZigBee Wireless Sensor Network Technology Following the Energy Strategy

ZigBee is a kind of new wireless sensor technology, this paper introduces wireless network equipments and network topology based on the ZigBee protocol, and then in the perspective of energy management explores the different time interval of different number of nodes to join the network through a coordinator. Proved by NS2 simulation, to set the best time interval at 0.3s can make the network conflicts least in the process of networking and the total time for all devices to complete networking can be reduced by 61.66% at most, thereby reduce the energy consumption in the process of networking and extend lifecycle of the whole network. This has important practical significance to ZigBee-based wireless sensor network application to extend the network life.
