1. Introduction to Zigbee

Zigbee technology standard created for Control and Sensor Networks, the
standard is based on the IEEE 802.15.4 Standard Created by the ZigBee
Alliance. ZigBee is suitable for radio-frequency (RF) applications that
require a low data rate (250 Kbps), short range (from 75m to a few
kilometres), low power, simple architecture, low cost, long battery life,
and secure network.
ZigBee works in the industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) radio bands;
868 MHz in Europe, 915 MHz in countries like USA and Australia, and 2.4
GHz in most of the countries in the world. High bandwidth, high speed,
dual channels (Tx and Rx).The entire ZigBee protocols consist of security
services, application layer (APS and ZDO), NWK layer, MAC layer and PHY
layer, which can support three network structures of star, cluster tree and
mesh.
There are three different types of ZigBee devices which include ZigBee
coordinator (ZC), ZigBee router (ZR) and ZigBee end device (ZED).The
full and clear protocols are implemented by the ZigBee protocol stack.
ZigBee's goal is to define a general-purpose, inexpensive, self-organizing
mesh network. Typical application areas include Building Automation,
Smart

2. History and Background of Zigbee

The ZigBee Alliance is formed in October 2004. The ZigBee Alliance is a

group of companies that worked in cooperation to develop a network
protocol that can be used in a variety of commercial and industrial low
data rate applications.

The ZigBee 1.0 or release 2004 is basically aiming at the home lighting
control, featured with 8 bit clusters, KVP/MSG services, CSkip addressing,
joint routing and Coordinator binding.
The release 2006 is extended to the areas of commercial building
automation, industrial plant monitoring, and home automation, etc.,
featuring 16 bit clusters, ZigBee cluster library (ZCL) , multicast, group
devices, easy maintenance, targeted broadcasts, Over-the-Air (OTA)
setup, optional coordinator binding, KVP service was removed.
The release 2007/PRO is fundamentally developed for the areas of
commercial building automation, industrial plant monitoring, and home
automation. A lot of new functions like address assignment, AODV routing
only, many to one (source) routing and fragmentation can be found in
ZigBee 2007/PRO.
3. Zigbee Standards and Certifications

3.1

Certifications

The goal of the ZigBee Alliance is to create an open specification defining

mesh and tree network topologies with interoperable application profiles
for wireless control systems. Its focus is clearly on standards-based, lowcost, low-power, and low-data rates applications. For a product to carry
the ZigBee Alliance logo, it must first successfully complete the ZigBee
Certification Program. This ensures that an end product has correctly
implemented the ZigBee standards. You need to join the ZigBee Alliance
to submit a product for testing. There are currently two ZigBee Allianceapproved certification test providers: NTS Corp. and the TUV Rheinland
Group.

Only those products that pass ZigBee certification can display the
ZigBee logo.

There are two types of end product testing: Interoperability &

Coexistence

Solution for Zigbee Applications

3.2

An end product may be certified for either Interoperability with

other ZigBee end products;
Or Operating within a closed system but able to coexist with other
ZigBee products.

Standards

The ZigBee standard was created to address the need for a cost effective,
standards-based wireless networking solution that supports low datarates, low-power consumption, security, and reliability.

The ZigBee standard specifies a full protocol stack for enabling

wireless control applications.
ZigBee protocol stack structure as shown in Figure 1, IEEE802.15.4
responsible for the physical layer and MAC layer protocol, ZigBee
Alliance to develop the network layer, application layer security
services interface and protocol, can be user-defined application

4. How Zigbee Works (brief)

The ZigBee standard has the capacity to address up to 65535 nodes in a

single network. However, the ZigBee Protocol defines three general types
of nodes: Coordinators, Routers and End Device, with a requirement of
one Coordinator per network. While all nodes can send and receive data,
there are differences in the specific roles they play. An example of a
ZigBee network is shown below in Figure 2.
Zigbee Coordinators (Network Creator) - are the most capable of the
three node types. There is exactly one coordinator in each network and it
is the device that establishes the network originally. It is able to store
information about the network, including security keys.
Zigbee Routers (Multi-hop Routing)- act as intermediate nodes,
relaying data from other devices.
Zigbee End Devices (Very low power) - can be low-power / batterypowered devices. They have sufficient functionality to talk to their parents
(either the coordinator or a router) and cannot relay data from other
devices. This reduced functionality allows for the potential to reduce their
cost.
To provide for low cost implementation options, the ZigBee Physical
Device type distinguishes the type of hardware based on the IEEE
802.15.4 definition of reduced function device (RFD) and full function
device (FFD) as shown in table 1. An IEEE 802.15.4 network requires at
least one FFD to act as a network coordinator.

Figure 2 ZigBee network

ZigBee uses two types of devices. Reduced-function devices (RFDs) are

sensors that communicate with full-function devices (FFDs). FFDs are
complex nodes that conform to the full 802.15.4 standard and can serve
as routers. An end device gets its instructions from a ZigBee Coordinator.
All ZigBee networks must include a coordinator, which is a full function
device that manages the network.
ZigBee technology provides static and dynamic star, cluster tree and
mesh networking structures that allow large area network coverage,
scalable networks and single point-of-failure avoidance.
If the end device is out of range of its coordinator, it can communicate
through a router. The diagram shows what is called a mesh network. The
term mesh is used because of the routers and coordinators have multiple
communication path options. network may be extended through the use
of ZigBee routers, Using local addressing you can configure simple
networks of more than 65,000 (216) nodes, thereby reducing address
overhead.

ZigBee devices offer transmission distances of up to 100 meters,

depending on how much power is available and whether there is anything
physically blocking the signal. Typical 2.4 GHz hardware has
demonstrated 30 meters indoors and over 100 meters outdoors.

provide status and control of home lighting when entering and exiting a
home.
ZigBee is a standards-based technology for remote monitoring, control
and sensor network applications. Figure 3 shows, a typical ZigBeeenabled device includes a radio frequency integrated circuit (RF IC) with a
partially implemented PHY layer connected to a low-power, low-voltage 8bit microcontroller with peripherals, connected to an application sensor or
actuators.
Sensor networks are developed for many uses. The principal tasks of
sensor networks are monitoring, collecting ambient parameters, and
making decisions about control of the parameters. Sensor application like;
lighting control, TV remote control, motion detector, door control &
remote temperature sensor and many more as shown in figure 3.

Connecting the home to the Smart grid

With the help of HAN (Home Area Network), able to track energy costs in
real-time and to be able to understand the various energy flows within
the home or building. Such an insight together with means to remote
control appliances, if available on easy to install, easy to use devices, and
accessible on an online or mobile, in the home or remote display panel,
will empower customers and help them change their behavior (and thus
reduce their bill).
A typical deployment scenario for the Home Energy Gateway within the
HAN is described in Figure 4.
The Home Energy Gateway:

receives price events or demand-response events through the AMI

network and its
smart-meter interface to the HAN (or potentially through the
broadband interface)
monitors and controls a set of demand-response appliances (e.g.
thermostat, water boiler, heater, )
monitors and controls a set of home-automation related appliances
(e.g. washing machine, dimming lights, )
reads power figures out of the various meters on a periodic basis

The Home Energy Gateway reference platform developed by Freescale is

an open Hardware (HW) and Software (SW) platform aimed at
jumpstarting development of HAN products, for homes in the service
territory of utilities implementing consumer energy management
programs.
The Freescale Home Energy Gateway platform is powerful enough to
collect real-time data delivered by a network of intelligent meters and
sensors, but also to run a framework processing and delivering analytical
visualizations in an intuitive and powerful visual way through a number of
access methods like touch screen, mobile phones and web browsers.
