【 摘 要 】

ZigBee networks have known battery-life problems, so, in this paper, we propose an energy-efficient routing protocol for them named LCF-ZBR (Low Formation of cluster ZigBee Routing). If the energy of one particular cluster head node is not sufficient, an alternative cluster head is used to preserve the residual energy of the original node, thus avoiding cluster head node failure due to excessive use. This will help to prolong the service life of the entire network. LCF-ZBR and ZBR energy consumption problems were simulated using NS2, and the residual energy and the number of dead nodes were compared. The results showed that the proposed energy-efficient routing protocol was more effective.
