Abstract

Wireless communication is well used in home energy management systems (HEMS). ZigBee, as a typical example helps to achieve cheap and fast deployment, but also brings resource limits and performance issues. An enhanced routing algorithm is therefore present in this paper to improve congestion detection and avoidance. Better performance has been achieved According to the experiments conducted in a practical environment.
