Latency Reduction in Zigbee by the Hybrid Combination of STR and Steiner Tree

IJCSEC Front Page
Abstract
Zigbee is a worldwide standard of wireless personal area network used to send packet from any node to any other node in which it doesn't have specific infrastructure and centralized access. It is a widely used technology since it connects nearly 64,000 devices at low cost, less power consumption and complexity. Instead of following proactive and reactive protocol to deliver packets it follows tree topology and it reduces route discovery overhead. However, it doesn’t find shortest path to reach destination since fixed route is followed, even if the destination is nearer to source node. Shortest tree topology (STR) overcomes this problem and finds the shortest path by calculating the remaining hop to reach destination from the source node. Limitations of using STR is latency get increased since it finds shortest path among all the possible routes. So in this paper we present about steiner tree which finds shortest path among all the available paths with a reduction in latency and it also maintains advantages of zigbee such as low power consumption, low cost, less complexity, etc., It overcomes the problems like detour path problem and traffic concentration problem. In the performance evaluation, steiner tree achieves better performance to reach destination with reduced latency.
