Abstract

ZigBee based Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are a reliable and adaptive solution for environment level monitoring. In this paper, we use QoS technique for energy optimization of the existing ZigBee communication protocol. The proposed new method and algorithm uses a combination of the embedded in the ZigBee wireless nodes Link Quality Indicator (LQI) and Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) as critical parameters. The proposed algorithm is specifically tailored to be a stateless, localized algorithm with minimal control overhead. A real wireless node transmission experiments and analysis are provided to validate our claims.
