Abstract
This paper proposes a new addressing scheme for personal area and sensor networks with Zigbee. The method is based on arithmetic series and avoids address duplication and wastage. Problems associated with skip distance addressing and static addressing schemes are highlighted. Progressive addressing of nodes is demonstrated. The method permits identifying the Zigbee network using IPv6 addressing of a parent gateway and offset addressing of children nodes.
