Cluster Label-based ZigBee Routing Protocol with High Scalability Kwang Koog Lee, Seong Hoon Kim and Hong Seong Park Dept. of Electronic Communication Engineering, Kangwon National University, 192-1 Hyoja 2 Dong, ChunCheon, 200-701, South Korea {21thbomb, bs99018}@control.kangwon.ac.kr, hspark@kangwon.ac.kr Abstract applications as low-rate wireless monitoring and controlling, it is characterized as building WMN. For Since the ZigBee mesh routing algorithm is similar supporting mesh networks, ZigBee uses the routing to AODV based on flooding, the networks suffer from algorithm similar to Ad hoc On-demand Distance the scalability problem as the number of nodes or the Vector (AODV) [11] used in MANET, which is called data traffic increases. Thus, for low-rate ZigBee mesh Z-AODV in this paper. networks it is necessary to design an effective routing Even though AODV is a well-known routing protocol to take the scalability into account. In this protocol for mobile wireless environment, it does not paper, we propose a ZigBee mesh routing protocol still support enough scalability as researchers based on Cluster Label (ZiCL). As ZiCL hierarchically mentioned [7-10]. This is why AODV-based routing divides a ZigBee-e
