Abstract
The paper discusses data broadcast algorithms for the 802.15.4 based
ZigBee network standard and their applicability to creating sensor networks
for medical data applications, focusing especially on transmitting data to
multiple receivers (multicast concept). The multicast concept is not currently
supported by ZigBee. Therefore, the focus is on introducing a multicast
communication model and suggested a new algorithm based on ZigBee which is
specifically optimized to support multiple sinks. Further on the paper
describes experiences with developing M-Bee, a multicast routing algorithm
platform, using the open Microchip’s ZigBee software stack
