This document discusses the design and simulation of wireless sensor networks using the ZigBee standard. It presents the architecture of ZigBee networks, which consists of sensor nodes, coordinators, and routers. It also examines different network topologies - star, mesh, and tree - and a methodology for simulating these topologies to evaluate metrics like energy efficiency, reliability, and connectivity. The results provide insights into the strengths and weaknesses of each topology to identify the most suitable one for different application scenarios.
