Abstract :
ZigBee network is a distributed system, consisting of large numbers of nodes. For network analysis, design and maintenance, it is quite necessary to obtain network structure and to visually display active nodes and the effect of failure nodes in a network. In this paper, a method for structure analysis of ZigBee network based on node address is proposed. Using this method, it is easy to get a ZigBee network´s structure information using node addresses and the network´s global parameters without additional communication burden on the ZigBee network. Finally, a Qt software module to analyze and visually display ZigBee network is introduced.
