Application of Zigbee in Smart Home with Dynamic Routing Algorithm

Abstract

In order to avoid damaging the walls and bore a hole through the walls., also to save the cost of rewiring , low voltage power line can be used to implement the smart home .However ,several difficult problem must be solved at the same time , the most important are finding a technology method to suppress the noise interference and resist the weaker signal. The  smart home system is introduced in the paper. During the design of Smart Home System adopting power line signal carrier, a dynamic routine algorithm based on the idea of Genetic Algorithm is proposed to cope with the time-varying and random feature of power line channel. Thus the system can find the transmission path in real time and dispatch the signal carrier to transmit among the nodes. With this algorithm, the communication between a certain group-controller and its terminal nodes or between the main-controller and the group-controllers is realized successfully. In the proposed algorithm all nodes but the controller adopt same driver, therefore the plug and play is realized for all nodes.
