Raju Sharma, Hardeep Singh Ryait, Anuj Kumar Gupta . Study of Zigbee Protocol using Opnet. International Conference on Advances in Emerging Technology. ICAET2016, 8 (September 2016), 23-29.
Wireless Body Area Networks consisting of sensor nodes which are connected to each other through a wireless link. Sensor nodes sense the signal and send it to the sink node. Zigbee protocol is used in this study. It has various advantages over other communication standards in terms of low power consumption, low battery consumption, short range etc. Various network simulators are used for Wireless Sensor Network, Opnet is one of them. In this paper different network topologies are evaluated. Based on the results obtained from the paper, researchers will get the useful information about the simulator. Some drawbacks of simulator are also discussed in this paper.
