In the traditional Zigbee network

the data forwarding frequency in each layer is not uniform and the path selection is achieved by route request message RREQ flooding.As a result

the energy dissipation of the nodes in the network is not uniform and the network die prematurely.In this paper

a Zigbee routing algorithm IZRA-AODVjr based on the node energy balance mechanism is proposed.Through controlling intermediate low energy nodes to forward RREQ data packet and balancing the energy level of each node in the network

the proposed algorithm divides the energy state of the node according to the dynamically established global node energy metric to solve the disadvantages of the traditional routing algorithm

which considers the node energy protection and extends the network lifecycle.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively reduce the overall energy consumption of the network and improve the node survival rate.
