Zigbee

ZigBee is a wireless technology designed for control and sensor networks, based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, and created by the ZigBee Alliance. It enables low power consumption, allowing for long battery life, and facilitates the creation of networked homes where devices can communicate and be controlled centrally. ZigBee supports various device types and network topologies, making it suitable for applications in consumer, commercial, industrial, and government markets.

What is Zigbee?

• ZigBee is a new wireless technology


• Technological Standard Created for
Control and Sensor Networks
• Based on the IEEE 802.15.4 Standard
• Created by the ZigBee Alliance
• Philips,Motorola,Intel,HP are all members
of the allience.
Zigbee
• Designed for low power consumption
allowing batteries to essentially last for
ever
• ZigBee makes possible completely
networked homes where all devices are
able to communicate and be controlled by
a single unit
• It provides network,security and
application support services operating on
the top of IEEE

Architecture
• Layered architecture
• These layers facilitate the features that
make ZigBee very attractive:
✓ low cost
✓ easy implementation
✓ reliable data transfer
✓ short-range operations
✓ very low power consumption
✓ adequate security features
Architecture
Layers
1.Network and Application Support layer
2.Physical (PHY) layer
3.Media access control (MAC) layer
Zigbee Device Types
• There are three different ZigBee device
types that operate on the layers in any
self-organizing application network

1. Zigbee Coordinator node


2. Full Function Device (FFD)
3. Reduced Function Device(RFD)
1.Zigbee Coordinator Node
• It is the root of network tree and a bridge
to other network
• Able to store information about the
network
• Only one ZCN for a network
• It act as a repositary for other security
keys
2.The full Function Device
• An intermediatory router transmitting data
from other devices
• Needs lesser memory than Zigbee
coordinator node
• Lesser manufacturing cost
• Can operate on all topologies
• Also act as a coordinator
3.The Reduced Function
Device
• Device capable of talking in the network
• It cannot relay data from other devices
• Less memory
• Cheaper than FFD
• It talks only to the n/w coordinator

ranging from months to years
• High density of nodes per network
• Low cost
• Simple implementation
• Low data rate
• Small packet devices
Applications
• The ZigBee Alliance targets applications
Across consumer, commercial, industrial
and government markets worldwide
