The interconnection of distributed sensor nodes that is used to measure the sensor data in remote locations is called as Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). Each of the sensors is interfaced with a microcontroller to form wireless sensor node. Different types of devices like PDA'S, laptops, television etc., are used in consumer electronics that use different software and protocols. There is no common communication...
The ZigBee tree routing is widely used in many resource-limited devices and applications, since it does not require any routing table and route discovery overhead to send a packet to the destination. However, the ZigBee tree routing has the fundamental limitation that a packet follows the tree topology; thus, it cannot provide the optimal routing path. In this paper, we propose the shortcut tree routing...
When the topology is mesh in ZigBee network, by changing the communication radius of the node, simulation result proves that the different effective communication distance of signal has a great influence on the network performance, meanwhile, the different values of key parameters MY_ROUTE_TIMEOUT and ACTIVE_ROUTE_TIMEOUT also cause some effect to the network performance. Through summarizing the simulation...
ZACA-EEC (Zigbee Ant Colony Algorithm Energy Efficient Cluster) routing protocol is proposed to replace AODV in Zigbee with the aim of increasing reliability for mine equipment monitoring in this paper, which can prolong the lifetime of network remarkably. Taking hydraulic support as an example, the distribution of monitoring nodes can be simplified as chain hierarchy topology, then Free-space model...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is an emerging field of engineering with various applications. They have emerged as a new class of large scale networks of embedded systems with limited communication, computation and energy resources. Recently adopted IEEE 802.15.4 standards for Low-rate Wireless Personal Area Network (LR-WPAN) are most extensively used communication platform for WSNs. Conventional...
This paper proposes an improved Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol based on node-grade to reduce the energy consumption of nodes in wireless sensor networks. The improved AODV called Grade-AODV (G-AODV) assigns a grade to each node according to the hop distance of the node to the sink node. The lower grade a node has, the closer it is to the sink. Each node is restricted to receive...
Power consumption now becomes the most important challenges when design distributed wireless sensor networks (WSN). There are several limits in the process of designing a WSN, in which the lifetime of a network should be taken into consideration. The lifetime could depend on the battery device and the protocols as well. In this paper we introduce a new protocol which can do better in power management...
