Abstract
The wireless sensor networks (WSN) research is emerging fast in the areas of agriculture, industry, smart grid communication, smart monitoring, and smart metering. The Zigbee is a wireless network protocol under IEEE 802.15.4 standard, that provides low cost, low power, and lesser delay in data communication over a PAN network. Several sensor nodes are deployed in WSN geospatial domain to communicate with each other. The sensor nodes are the embedded devices used to perform specific applications by sending information in the network through the coordinator node. The coordinator gathers the data, stores into memory, processes it, and route it to the destination node. The Zigbee protocol supports peer-to-peer, star, mesh and cluster tree topology. In the research paper, the hardware chip design for mesh, star, and cluster Zigbee topology is proposed in which 64 nodes are communicating with each other. The chip simulation is performed on Xilinx ISE 14.7 software for 64-bit internode communication and pre-synthesized on Virtex-5 FPGA. The comparative performance of the chip is analyzed with the help of the FPGA device and timing parameters.
