Abstract

In this paper, ZigBee is used as a communication medium in home automation and networking. Simulations on Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) ZigBee routing protocol with different traffic scenarios like CBR, FTP, and Poisson; and having different network topologies have been performed. Trace analysis is carried out to calculate parameters like end-to-end packet delay and jitter, which are key parameters in determining quality of service (QoS). Various types of queue types such as Drop Tail, Stochastic Fair Queue (SFQ), and Random Early Detection (RED) are used to calculate delay and jitter, by taking various traffic scenarios into consideration.
