The advantages of tree routing and distributed addresses assignment mechanisms in ZigBee wireless sensor networks are its simplicity and less resource consumption. However, they bring some constraints on the network configuration and may reduce the network connectivity. This will cause the expected network operations and functionality to be unreached and also waste the corresponding deployment costs of the isolated sensor devices with failed joining. This paper proposed an efficient connection shifting mechanism to reduce the isolated device and improve the overall network connectivity.
