INTRODUCTION: Scenarios and Configuration for ZIGBEE: By using OPNET Zigbee model some of the features are implemented like mesh routing, tree routing, roaming between two PANs and failure & recovery procedures. From these feature we have three scenarios, they are: 1. Multiple PAN Mobility 2. Coordinator Failure 3. Tree and Mesh Routing Configuration of Zigbee nodes can be found using Zigbee parameters attribute and simulation attributes. Application Traffic is used to find related traffic generation. Report snapshot times and Network formation threshold are used for output report generation. PAN means a Personal Area Network which is used to configure the scenarios in this project for Zigbee. We used to assign a PAN ID as 1, 2, 3 etc for the coordinator and starts the network to begin. MAC is the Medium Access Layer. By using Routers, End devices and Coordinators which are also called PANs or PAN configurations we build a network for the scenarios. Now I would like to analyze all these features using Switch to Scenario under Scenarios list in OPNET simulator which are already configured in it. The results are found in Panels under DES menu. I made the documentation by going through the Readme Files under every scenario which I had learn some new information. PART 1-Basic Scenarios: 1. Multiple PAN Mobility: The purpose of this is to test mobility and also leaving & joining the nodes in a network. It consists of three PAN Configurations which have different ranges, a mobile_node_1 placed at PAN configuration-1, routers and end devices. From readme it is clear that the transmit power for each PAN is 2mW which do not overlap with each other. It takes 20 minutes time for mobile_node_1 to switch from one configuration to an... ... middle of paper ... ... Table: Number of nodes at Simulation time 720 Finally in coordinator failure the differences after modification are unclear PAN affiliation for coordination failure and spikes and increase in bits and less loads for PAN 1 than PAN 2 in MAC Load per PAN. Also there are minor differences at simulation times 60, 360 & 720. CONCLUSION: In this project from ZIGBEE Network using OPNET simulator I observed how PANs work along with the routers and end devices for different and basic scenarios. Graphs are plotted for all original scenario networks. I also changed the destination to routers from original scenario and observed the plots under modified scenarios. So that from plots it is clear that how end-to-end devices, load (bits/sec) and PAN affiliation changes. Also we can observe the traffic received for all PANs at a time and changes in visualization functions.
