ABSTRACT: Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a special
type of communication medium through distributed sensor nodes. Popular wireless
sensor nodes like ZigBee have splendid interoperability after IEEE 802.15.4
standardization in the domain of wireless personal area network (WPAN). ZigBee
has another great feature mobility that makes the ZigBee network more
versatile. The mobility feature of ZigBee mobile nodes has a greater impact on
network performance than fixed nodes. This impact sometimes turns into more
severe because of network structure and mobility model. This study mainly
focuses on the performance analysis of the ZigBee mobile node under Random and
Octagonal mobility management model with the Tree routing method. The Riverbed
academic modeler is used to design, implement and simulate the ZigBee network
under certain conditions. This study also presents a competitive performance
analysis based on ZigBee mobile nodes transmitter and receiver characteristics
under the observation of the mobility model. This indicates that Octagonal
mobility model exhibits better performance than the Random mobility model. This
study will constitute a new way for further designing and planning a reliable
and efficient ZigBee network.
