Shibo Xu, Qingzhou Li, Peng Ni, Wensheng Cao, Xianfeng Zhao · 2016
In this paper, a container monitoring system architecture based on Ad-hoc network using ZigBee is presented. In order to minimize the energy consume and improve the efficiency, an improved routing algorithm base on the basis of the existing ZigBee routing protocol is used in the monitoring system. In addition, some field experiments have been taken in the container yard. According to the experiment results, the system using the improved routing algorithm is proved efficient.
