9.  Addressing scheme 16-bit MAC short address The MAC address has two parts:  TIBs(Tree identification bits)  Node address 9

10. Fig.1 MAC short address assignment 10

11.  Initialisation phase The EAMTR trees are created in this phase. Parent-select sub-algorithm  To achieve more diverse topologies for different trees and, hence, increase the number of available routes from each node to the sink node(root). 11

12.  It considers two criteria for choosing the proper parent:  Minimum counter  Link quality index (LQI) 12

13. Sink P1P2 P3 Tree 1 link Tree 2 link Request connection in Tree 2 (a)Minimum counter P1 > P2, p2 are selected as P3 parent in Tree2 13

14. Sink P1P2 P3 Tree 1 link Tree 2 link Request connection in Tree 2 (b)Minimum counter P1 = P2,but LQI P1>P2, p1 are selected as P3 parent Fig. 2 parent-select sub-algorithm 14

15.  Tree selection phase All of the nodes gradually select their respective minimum cost tree as their main routing tree. NodeCost  It is a counter for each node, which is increased one unit upon selection of any of its respective trees as the main tree for any node in the network. 15

16. Sink P1P2 P3 15 NodeCost(P3,Tree1)= 15+15=30 Sink P1P2 P3 10 15 NodeCost(P3,Tree2)=10+15=25 Fig. 3 Tree selection phase: NodeCost(P3,Tree1)>NodeCost(P3,Tree2), the main routing tree of P3 is Tree2 16

17.  Normal phase In this phase, moderate changes in the number of nodes and topology of the network.  Recovery phase If a node x detected a failure of its main tree, node x would replace its old main tree with its first alternative tree in the lowest-cost queue as obtained by the tree selection algorithm. 17

18.  Experimental setup IEEE 802.15.4 NS2 simulator For simulation and performance evaluation of EAMTR in comparison with :  ZTR(ZigBee tree routing)  AODVZ(ZigBee compliant version of ad hoc on demand vector routing) The environmental parameters is shown as Table 1: 18

23.  According to simulations by the IEEE 802.15.4 NS-2.32 simulator, EAMTR contributes to reliability and stability of the network by balancing the energy consumption of nodes and relieving network congestion. 23
