Abstract
In order to improve ZigBee network forward efficiency, this paper presents ZigBee improving multicast routing algorithm (ZIMR). On the basis of Z-Stack multicast algorithm, ZIMR algorithm combines with the ZigBee distributed addressing assignment scheme, optimizing the multicast forwarding node selection and making a node send the information to more destination nodes. Simulation results prove that under the same circumstances the existing algorithm for multicast forwarding consumes more forwarding nodes, wastes the energy of nodes and affects the network performance; ZIMR algorithm reduces the number of the forwarding nodes, saves the energy of the whole network and improves the stability of the network. ZIMR algorithm is superior to the existing ZigBee multicast algorithm.
