I would like establish a mesh network using Zigbee modules and ATmega8. I need some basic c routines for establishing the network. My Controller is running with ATmega32. and end nodes will be on ATmega8.

I want plug and play wireless connection between Controller unit and nodes.

Please help me.

The Digi XBee series of RF modules is popular for plug and play wireless. In it's simplest configuration, a pair of modules operates as a serial cable replacement, with bytes going in on one module coming out on the other.

If you want to have a multi-node network, you'll have to use the radios in API mode, where frames include a header with addressing information and checksum in the footer. Digi has released an ANSI C XBee Host Library as Open Source on GitHub that could be a good starting point for that since you mention using C. It looks like there's even a fork of the library targeting the AVR platform.

@user2031622, zigbee nowdays has builtin microcontroller such as CC2530 provided by TI stack (Texas instruments).CC2530 has a inbuilt 8051 microcontroller which supports mesh networking.
