Simulation and evaluation of ZigBee based smart home using Qualnet simulator

Abstract

This research aims to represent the ZigBee mesh routing and the performance under simulation environment for smart home. In the realistic smart home, researcher does not get some of the analysis and results. Hence, we designed and developed ZigBee best virtual smart home environment on Qualnet simulator. Finally, we suggest mixed-mode simulation methodology that integrates the smart home environment with realistic wireless sensor network tested hardware to get optimized system performance.
