Abstract :
This letter proposes the enhanced hierarchical routing protocol (EHRP) for ZigBee mesh networks. The EHRP finds the shortest hierarchical path based on the ZigBee hierarchical addressing scheme. The EHRP provides efficient and reliable routing paths. In addition, the EHRP is completely compatible with ZigBee v.1.0 standard. Simulation results demonstrate that the EHRP reduces routing overhead and route discovery delay of ZigBee mesh networks significantly compared with the hierarchical routing protocol (HRP) defined in ZigBee v1.0.
