Abstract— This paper studies efficient and simple data broadcast in IEEE 802.15.4 based ad hoc networks (e.g., ZigBee). ZigBee technology was developed for a wireless personal area networks (PAN), aimed at control and military applications with low data rate and low power consumption. Zigbee is a mesh routing protocol used in large IEEE 802.15.4 based wireless sensor networks. This protocol is based on Adhoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol. ZigBee is a standard defines a set of communication protocols for low-data-rate short-range wireless networking. ZigBee-based wireless devices operate in 868 MHz, 915 MHz, and 2.4 GHz frequency bands. The maximum data rate is 250 K bits per second. ZigBee is mainly for battery-powered applications where low data rate, low cost, and long battery life are main requirements. Since finding the minimum number of rebroadcast nodes in general ad hoc networks is NP-hard, current broadcast protocols either employ heuristic algorithms or assume extra knowledge such as position or two-hop neighbor table. It cannot provide position or two-hop neighbor information, but it still requires an efficient broadcast algorithm that can reduce the number of rebroadcast nodes with limited computation complexity and storage space.
