Performance Analysis And Algorithm Optimization Of ZigBee Routing Protocol

With the rapid development of information technology, wireless networks play amore and more important role in our daily life. ZigBee, an advanced technology ofshort-distance wireless communication technology, gains wide popularity in manyfields. Both protocols and application fields are under rapid growth for ZigBeetechnology is brand-new. While experts are looking for wide applications fields ofZigBee, problems such as network configuration, performance analysis and protocoloptimizations remain further discussed.In this paper, we realized the IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee stack with NS2 whichoffers platform for researchers for further optimizations. Also included are networkperformances of ZigBee.A data-oriented routing selection strategy is proposed and simulated. The resultsindicate that the cross-layer design was highly efficient in reducing network costs.An algorithm based on energy-balance strategy is designed to improve nodeexhaustion and network proportion. The optimum path or hypo-optimum path isselected by integrating the idea of accumulated path loss and link energy loss.Our researches are based on the characteristics of ZigBee network for low-rate,low-cost and low-power applications. The results show that network performance andcontrol overhead are improved greatly.
