The Application of UML in Zigbee Networks

For the issues of a long development cycle, poor portability and high-risk in the development process of Zigbee wireless network, this paper introduces the Unified Modeling Language (UML) to standardize the development process, improving development efficiency and ensuring product quality. According to the topological structure of Zigbee network, this paper adopts the module method to design the whole architecture with Rational Rose and applies use case diagram, class diagram, sequence diagram and state diagram to function model, structure model and information activities model of the wireless network, and finally completes design of the system model. The results show that this method makes good use of the advantages of UML. It greatly ensures the system stability, shortens the development cycle, reduces risks and improves the efficiency and maintainability of development of Zigbee system.
