Improved tree routing protocol in zigbee networks

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is becoming more important in various application areas. Many application scenarios require connectivity between WSN’s nodes to transmit the collected data to a sink node. ZigBee is an industrial standard for wireless ad hoc networks based on IEEE 802.15.4. It has bee...
