As the ZigBee standard is supported in the IEEE 802.15.5 link layer, it uses the same channels as described in the
previous section, with the peculiarity that the XBee-PRO ZigBee model limits the number of channels to 13.
The XBee-PRO ZigBee modules comply with the ZigBee-PRO v2007 standard. These modules add certain
functionalities to those contributed by ZigBee, such as:
Node discovery: some headings are added so that other nodes within the same network can be discove-
•
red. It allows a node discovery message to be sent, so that the rest of the network nodes respond indicating
their specific information (Node Identifier, @MAC, @16 bits, RSSI).
Duplicated packet detection: This functionality is not set out in the standard and is added by the XBee
•
modules.
The topologies in which these modules can be used are: star and tree.
