INTRODUCTION TO ZIGBEE
Zigbee is a specification for a suite of high level communication protocols using small,low power digital radios based on the IEEE 802.15.4-2006 standard for wireless personal area networks(WPANS).It is simpler and less expensive than other WPANS like bluetooth. It is targeted at RF applications requiring low 4/26/12

OVERVIEW
Zigbee is a low cost ,low power,wireless mesh network standard.It employs a suite of technologies to enable scalable,self-organizing and self-healing networks that can manage various data traffic patterns.It operates in the industrial,scientific and medical(ISM) radio bands. Zigbee chip vendors typically sell integrated 4/26/12

For NEC Internal Use

SITUATION
The last few years have witnessed an increasing use of remote control devices in our day to day life. To interact with remotely Controlled devices,the devices must be under a single,standardized control interface that can interconnect into a network;specifically a Personal Area Network(PAN).Some expected features are

HOW A ZIGBEE NETWORK FORMS

Devices are pre-programmed for their network function

Coordinator scans to find an unused channel to start a network Router (mesh device within a network) scans to find an active channel to join, then permits other devices to join End Device will always try to join an existing network

Devices discover other devices in the network providing complementary 4/26/12

MODES OF ZIGBEE
1.

In beacon-enabled-networks,the special network nodes called Zigbee routers transmit periodic beacons to confirm their presence to other network nodes. Nodes may sleep between beacons,thus lowering their duty cycle and extending their battery life. Beacon intervals may range from 15.36ms to 251.65824 seconds.

2.

In non-beacon-enabled-networks,Zigbee routers typically have their receivers continuously active , requiring a more 4/26/12 robust power supply.However, this allows

Addressing

Every device has a unique 64 bit MAC address Upon association, every device receives a unique 16 bit network address Only the 16 bit network address is used to route packets within the network Devices retain their 16 bit address if they disconnect from the network, however, if the LEAVE the network, the 16 bit address is re-assigned
