ZigBee technology adaptation and use is an emerging wireless communication technology with low power consumption and long battery life. These technology applications include controlling industrial systems, automating home systems, embedded sensing, and many more. Due to ZigBee's low bit rate and low transmission rate, it is necessary to investigate how ZigBee will perform in a heterogeneous situation using a simulation approach. This paper goes on to describe the design and modelling of mobile ZigBee networks with 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 nodes to evaluate and compare the performance of this wireless sensor network for star topology networks over time. For the resourceful operation of WSN, mobile ZigBee networks with 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25-star topologies were considered. Certain network parameters such as throughput (bits/sec), delay (sec), end-to-end delay (sec), traffic sent (bits/sec), and traffic received (bits/sec) were explored and compared for smooth WSN operation when ZigBee communication protocol was used and modelled with the OPNET simulator. After evaluating all of the required parameters for various scenarios, an acceptable result was obtained for the mobile ZigBee WSN.

ZigBee technology adaptation and use is an emerging wireless communication technology with low power consumption and long battery life. These technology applications include controlling industrial systems, automating home systems, embedded sensing, and many more. Due to ZigBee's low bit rate and low transmission rate, it is necessary to investigate how ZigBee will perform in a heterogeneous situation using a simulation approach. This paper goes on to describe the design and modelling of mobile ZigBee networks with 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 nodes to evaluate and compare the performance of this wireless sensor network for star topology networks over time. For the resourceful operation of WSN, mobile ZigBee networks with 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25-star topologies were considered. Certain network parameters such as throughput (bits/sec), delay (sec), end-to-end delay (sec), traffic sent (bits/sec), and traffic received (bits/sec) were explored and compared for smooth WSN operation when ZigBee communication protocol was used and modelled with the OPNET simulator. After evaluating all of the required parameters for various scenarios, an acceptable result was obtained for the mobile ZigBee WSN.
