Focus On The Development Of Meter Reading System, Based On The Short-range Wireless

ZigBee is a new global standard for wireless communications, with the characteristics of low-cost, low power consumption, low data rate, focusing on standardizing and enabling interoperability of products within home control, building automation and industrial control and monitoring. The ZigBee thousands protocol based on 802.15.4 standard will of sensors, which can communicate easily be embedded in with power-efficient .It has a good market in building automation and industrial controls. It is now widely recognized that standards such as Bluetooth and WLAN are not suited for low power applications, which is due to these standards' high node costs as well as complex and power hungry RF-ICs and protocols.With an introduction to the basic fundamentals of ZigBee accessories, this article provides a framework of wireless automatic meter reading system, the main types of hardware and analyzes the automatic network formation skills in the system as well as the route proposal in terms of power.Under these circumstances, the design of ZigBee wireless electronic meter reading system is my main target. The main contributions of the paper are as follow:In this paper, the author describes how to choose hardware and design the main circuit, the configuration that the data format should obey in application layer, the organization of the data structure in each layer. Meanwhile the author discusses the usability of the routing algorithm, points out some problems in using the routing algorithm, gives some suggestion on how to improve the efficiency of the algorithms. After that the author discusses the program flow chart of the end-device and the ZigBee/GPRS gateway. The paper is summed up in the end and the future efforts are directed.
