Abstract :
ZACA-EEC (Zigbee Ant Colony Algorithm Energy Efficient Cluster) routing protocol is proposed to replace AODV in Zigbee with the aim of increasing reliability for mine equipment monitoring in this paper, which can prolong the lifetime of network remarkably. Taking hydraulic support as an example, the distribution of monitoring nodes can be simplified as chain hierarchy topology, then Free-space model is used to study the topology´s optimal cluster of energy, meanwhile, ant colony algorithm is a good method of solving the problem how to select cluster header. Simulation results show that compared with the AODV and LEACH-C, lifetime of ZACA-EEC respectively increase by an average of 65% and 3.5%, and the maximum packet loss rate is 0.87% which is 12% as AODV in the same case, in additional CHSBI (Cluster Header Selection Balance Index) of ZACA-EEC with a mean is 5.6 times that of LEACH-C.
