Layered Protocol Stack of IEEE 802.15.4 The Physical layer defined by IEEE802.15.4 is responsible for activation and deactivation of the radio transceiver, energy detection (ED), link quality indication (LQI), channel selection, clear channel assessment (CCA) and transmitting as well as receiving packets across the physical medium. At the physical layer, Zigbee operates on three different frequency bands 2.4GHz, 915 MHz and 868 MHz's [15]. The supported data rate is 250 kbps at 2.4GHz with offset quadrature phase shift keying (OQPSK) modulation, 40 kbps at 915 MHz and 20 kbps at 868 MHz with binary phase shift keying (BPSK) modulation. Total of 27 channels is utilized which includes 1 channel between 868 and 868.6 MHz, 10 channels between 902.0 and 928.04 MHz and 16 channels between 2.4 and 2.4835 GHz. Several channels in different frequency bands make it possible to relocate within the available spectrum. The MAC layer defined by IEEE 802.15.4 controls the access to the communication channel and provides flow control through acknowledgements and retransmissions. It also controls frame validation, beacon management, device synchronization, guarantees time slot management and handles nodes association and disassociation.

Present-day technologies used in SHM (Structural Health Monitoring) systems in many implementations are based on wireless sensor networks (WSN). In the context of the continuous development of these systems, the costs of the elements that form the monitoring system are decreasing. In this situation, the challenge is to select the optimal number of sensors and the network architecture, depending on the wireless system's other parameters and requirements. It is a challenging task for WSN to provide scalability to cover a large area, fault tolerance, transmission reliability , and energy efficiency when no events are detected. In this article, fundamental issues concerning wireless communication in structural health monitoring systems (SHM) in the context of non-destructive testing sensors (NDT) were presented. Wireless technology developments in several crucial areas were also presented, and these include engineering facilities such as aviation and wind turbine systems as well as bridges and associated engineering facilities.
