- 11. Semiconductors 11 The Network Coordinator • Transmits network beacons • Sets up a network • Manages network nodes • Stores network node information • Routes messages between paired nodes • Receives constantly
- 12. Semiconductors 12 The Network Node • Is generally battery powered • Searches for available networks • Transfers data from its application as necessary • Determines whether data is pending • Requests data from the network coordinator • Can sleep for extended periods
- 13. Semiconductors 13 Supported Traffic Types • Periodic data – Application defined rate(e.g: sensors) • Intermittent – Basic communication(e.g: Light switch) • Repetitive low latency data – Allocation of guaranteed time slots (e.g: mouse)
- 14. Semiconductors 14 FRAME STRUCTURE 4 to 20 bytes are used for address information, which can include both source and destination information. This leaves a maximum of 104 bytes of actual data.
