  ZigBee mesh network is very important research field in computer networks.
However, the location of ZigBee coordinator plays a significant role in design
and routing performance. In this paper, an extensive study on the factors that
influence the performance of AODV routing protocol had been performed through
the study of battery voltage decaying of nodes, neighboring tables, time delay
and network topology structure. Simulation results reveal that the location of
the coordinator within approximate equal distances to all nodes is more
appropriate for lifelong batteries and AODV routing performance.
