Improving ZigBee AODV Mesh Routing Algorithm Topology and simulation analysis

Abstract

This paper used AODV mesh topology methods to send and receive data from source to destination and vice versa. In this paper we present an improved version of ZigBee-AODV mesh network, which utilizes and divide the topology of network into one or more logical clusters and restricts the flooding of route request outside the cluster. ZigBee-AODV mesh network uses nodes of the same cluster to share routing information, which significantly reduces the route path discovery and created cluster formation to decrease the routing path. The proposed protocol has higher reliability and lower overhead than AODV. We have done to figure out the various proposed modified algorithms based on the standard routing protocols, which have better network performance in terms of Average MAC control traffic sent/received , Average MAC data traffic sent/received , Average end to end delay, Packet loss (%), Network Lifetime, Throughput, Average Numbers of Hops, Average Packets Dropped , Normalized Routing Overheadetc.as compare to standard routing algorithms used in ZigBee-AODV mesh network.
