ZigBee PRO uses a stochastic (nondeterministic) scheme to assign the address of each device in a network, whereas a network conforming to a tree topology uses a distributed scheme (Cskip) to assign a 16-bit address to each device.
When a device joins a network, it receives an address. This 16-bit address is assigned to the device by a router or coordinator and is unique within the current network. If the new device joining a network is a router, the coordinator assigns an address to it; otherwise, if ...
