ZigBee topology: A survey

Wireless technology having great application in office, home and business automation and it is a prominent field of research. ZigBee is built on the top of IEEE 802.15.4 standard for communication in wireless personal area network (WPAN). ZigBee is having feature of low cost of implementation, ease of access, low data over IEEE 802.15.4 standard and other traditional wireless network. ZigBee is mess networking topology having advance features over IEEE 802.15.4 like more reliability and long coverage area. This paper presents ZigBee networking topology, its types, architecture and its application.
