Abstract
The ZigBee network is widely studied and deployed recently because its low cost and simplicity features. However, the power consumption issue needs a further improvement since the application requirements are not fully satisfied. The emerging 5G communication technology is characterized by the smarter devices and the native support for the M2 M communication. On that basis, the 5G terminals are capable of joining the existing ZigBee networks and have the potential to improve the data transmission. In this paper, we investigate the performance of the ZigBee networks in the 5G environment for different scenarios. To make the 5G devices optimize the communication, the improved topology updating mechanism for 2 scenarios are investigated. The performances are evaluated based on the simulation results, it is shown that our scenarios lead to better performances with higher packet delivery ratio, less hop counts from ZigBee devices and fewer packets sent per ZigBee node. And the effect on 5G node mobility is also studied.
