摘要：Wireless sensor networks are power constrained since nodes operate with limited battery energy. In order to maximize the lifetime of sensors networks, traffic should be sent via a route and different traffic applications that can be avoid nodes with low energy. In this paper, we analyze the performance of Zigbee home automation network under different traffic applications (such as constant bit rate (CBR), variable bit rate (VBR), and file transfer protocol (FTP)) by considering energy consumption parameter. The simulation results represent the impact on power consumption due to these different traffic applications in transmit mode, receive mode and idle mode. Energy consumed in transmits, receive and idle mode, for FTP application is low as compare to VBR and CBR. In terms of energy consumption FTP overall performs better than other traffic application since low power consumption corresponds to high efficiency
