  In this paper large scale multihop sensor networks are established as non-beacon enabled ZigBee mesh networks. The lifetime of the network is increased by putting nodes to sleep and to wakeup state autonomously. To enable a reliable system with sensor nodes sleeping in an asynchronous manner, we propose a cross-layer sleep scheduling solution coupled with ZigBee’s proposed AODV routing. It consists of two parts: a) Neighbor Aware Communication (NAC) and b) Adaptive Resynchronization (AR). NAC avoids sending packets to sleeping nodes while AR allows the sensor nodes to adapt their sleeping schedule to their neighbors’ duty cycles. ns-2-simulations show that the performance of such a cross-layer optimized system in terms of end-to-end delay and packet delivery ratio is comparable to the benchmark case of synchronized sleep schedules.

  Large wireless sensor network deployments used for environ- mental monitoring or cargo tracking, require energy efficient mesh topologies. This implies duty cycling of sensor nodes to be coordinated with the routing protocol. Staying in the context of ZigBee, we simulate the combination of the sleep enabled non-beaconed mode of 802.15.4 and AODV routing and compare the duty cycling effects of synchronized and unsynchronized sleep scheduling. We consider two different link layer feedback schemes for AODV, denoted as regular and smooth AODV.
