3. Introduction
Wireless personal area network and wireless
sensor networks are rapidly gaining popularity, and the IEEE
802.15 Wireless Personal Area Working Group has defined
no less than different standards so as to cater to the
requirements of different applications.
The smart energy market requires two types of ZigBee networks for
device control and energy management.
Nowadays, organizations use IEEE 802.15.4e and
ZigBee to effectively deliver solutions for a variety of areas
including consumer electronic device control, energy
management and efficiency, home and commercial building
automation as well as industrial plant management.

8. Channelization
27 channels across 3 bands.
1 channel between 868.0 & 868.6 Mhz.
10 channels between 902.8 & 928.0
2.4 Ghz PHY has 16 channels.
PHY layers have other functions related to
channels like scan function.
9. Sensitivity & Range
Receiver sensitivity range: -85dBm for 2.4 Ghz
PHY and -92dBm for 868/915 Mhz.
A star topology can provide complete home
coverage.
Mesh network topology gives the home coverage
each device needs with enough power and
sensitivity to communicate with nearest neighbor.
10. Interference
Devices operating in 2.4 Ghz has to accept
interference from other services.
IEEE 802.15.4e expects low QoS.
Demand: 802.15.4e needs excellent battery life.
11. 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 called as Low-Rate Wireless Personal
Area Network (LR-WPAN) Standard.
Created by the ZigBee Alliance
Philips,Motorola,Intel,HP are all members
of the alliance.
12. Zigbee
Designed for low power consumption
allowing batteries to essentially last forever .
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.
13. 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)
14. 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
15. 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
16. 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
17. Characteristics
Low power consumption with battery life
ranging from months to years
High density of nodes per network
Low cost
Simple implementation
Low data rate
Small packet devices
18. Applications
The ZigBee Alliance targets applications
Across consumer, commercial, industrial
and government markets worldwide
Home networking
Industrial control and management
19. •As an ecosystem, the Agreement offers
everything future product and service companies need to
develop ZigBee products.
•The smart energy networks could
include both ZigBee 2006 and IEEE 802.15.4e.
•ZigBee smart energy certified products must be based upon a
ZigBee Compliant Platform (ZCP).
• If the smart energy
profile resides in combination with a private profile, the
product should be ZigBee Manufacturer Specific Profile
(MSP) licensed and must be smart energy ZCP certified.

22. Device Binding System
Bindings are connections between endpoints.
An application design based on the remote control mentioned
earlier is shown.
The remote control has bindings to all five devices,
1) endpoint 1 of the remote control is bound to endpoint 6 of the main
bedroom light,
2) endpoint 8 of the remote control is bound to endpoint 3 of the heating
and air-conditioning system,
3) endpoint 4 of the security is bound to endpoint 5 of the
security control system,
4) endpoint 2 of the hall light is bound to
endpoint 7 of the hall light control system and so forth.
23.
24. Continuation
Bindings are connections between two endpoints, with each binding
supporting a specific application profile, and each message type is represented
by a cluster within that profile.
. To demonstrate ZigBee’s flexibility in handling scenarios, consider the more
multi binding . More focus on a lighting system.
When combined with the network source and destination address which
identifies a particular radio, in this frame containing the source and/or the
destination endpoint, cluster ID and profile ID uniquely identifies a specific
message type within a specific profile between two application endpoints
associated with two specific devices.
Box (a) at thetop shows a 3-way toggle switch while boxes (b,c) shows
howmultiple devices can be attached to a single device. In box (a),a bedroom
light switch along with the remote control on the left, are bound to the main
bedroom light on the right .
25. We make a 3-way toggle switch, with both the main
bedroom switch and the remote control acting as switches on the
main bedroom light. This is achieved through two separate
bindings, with both endpoints on the lighting device controlling the
light bulb. In boxes (b,c), a single device on the right controls both
the two hall lights1 and the hall light2.
By binding the remote control and the hall switch control 2
to separate endpoints on the hall device, the same device can allow
independent control of independent attached lights. The remote
control, bound to the two hallway lights will independently control
these lights, while the hall switch control 2 is independently bound
to the other light.

28. •We suggest new ubiquitous
home scenarios based on the proposed system. We expect
that this work contributes towards the development of

•Energy savings and user happiness are two
major design considerations for modern lighting systems.
Global standards like ZigBee RF4CE for RF-based
