In this paper, we present the design of an energy-saving wireless sensor network using ZigBee standard with tree network topology and the frequency band of 2.4 GHz. By choosing low power consumption components, modifying the MAC algorithm and AES cryptography, the proposed network allows users to utilize the power efficiently, provide high level of security and can be applied to a variety of applications.
