Abstract

ZigBee Tree Routing has two major problems; the first problem is its more hop-counts as compared to the reactive routing and another one is the hotspot problem. In this paper, we propose an improved routing algorithm called Load-balanced Shortcut Tree Routing (LSTR) which utilizes the information of neighbors within two hops. In LSTR, the intermediate or source node can find the optimal next hop node which has the smallest remaining hop-count to the destination within its transmission range. In the process of data transmitting, node’s depth, node’s residual energy and energy threshold are taken into account. The simulation result shows that this algorithm can transmit data efficiently, balance the energy of network and prolong network’s lifetime.
