Energy Saving Algorithm of Zigbee Network based on Whole Network Dormancy

Abstract

Abstract. Wireless sensor nodes are usually powered by batteries and then work for a long time after deployment, which means that the energy of nodes could become a bottleneck of network operation. To solve the problem of energy limitation of nodes in wireless sensor network, this paper proposes an energy saving routing algorithm based on whole network dormancy. The algorithm can turn all nodes, including terminal nodes, routing nodes and sink nodes, to sleep, saving energy for each node in the network. At the same time, it designs two sleep strategies, named long sleep and short sleep strategy, for routing nodes. The two strategies can further reduce consumption under the premise of not affecting energy consumption. The experimental results based on CC2630 show that: compared with exiting related algorithm, the new algorithm reduces consumption of nodes by 10%.

Power-Saving Design of Radio Frequency Identification Sensor Networks in Bus Seatbelt Monitoring Systems

“…The Contiki operating system was suggested in [ 10 ] to reduce the power consumption from the software perspective. A hybrid polling approach was proposed in [ 11 ] to reduce the number of frames transmitted by the router node. In paper [ 12 ], a quantization bit number was selected to optimize energy allocation as well as to reduce the error of the reconstructed fusion center.…”

A Node-Protection-Based ZBR Routing Algorithm

“…A router sleep mechanism was also added to the neighbor table. Ren et al [14] proposed a sleep-based Zigbee routing algorithm, which applies short sleep to the coordinators, and long and short sleep to the routing nodes. Terminal nodes transmit the sleep strategy once no data is present.…”
