Coordinator Location Effects in AODV Routing Protocol in ZigBee Mesh Network

摘要

ZigBee mesh network is very important research field in computer networks.However, the location of ZigBee coordinator plays a significant role in designand routing performance. In this paper, an extensive study on the factors thatinfluence the performance of AODV routing protocol had been performed throughthe study of battery voltage decaying of nodes, neighboring tables, time delayand network topology structure. Simulation results reveal that the location ofthe coordinator within approximate equal distances to all nodes is moreappropriate for lifelong batteries and AODV routing performance.
