3. 1. INTRODUCTION
• Zigbee technology is a wireless communication standard that is
part of the IEEE 802.15.4 standard family.
• Zigbee technology was specifically designed for low-power,
short-range, and low-data-rate applications.
• Zigbee is a specification for a suite of high-level
communication protocols using low-power digital radios.

4. • Zigbee supports mesh networking, allowing devices to relay
signals through multiple nodes. This enhances reliability and
extends the effective range of the network
• Zigbee technology provides a reliable and energy-efficient
solution for short-range wireless communication, making
it well-suited for various IoT and smart device
applications.

5. 2. HISTORY
• Zigbee technology was developed in the early 2000s, with the Zigbee
Alliance, a consortium of companies, initiating its development in
2002.
• The Zigbee Alliance released the first version of the Zigbee
specification, Zigbee 1.0, in December 2004, laying the foundation for
its widespread adoption.
• As technology advanced, subsequent versions of Zigbee were
introduced to enhance its capabilities. Zigbee 2006, Zigbee 2007, and
Zigbee PRO added features such as increased data rates, improved
security, and support for larger networks.

6. • Zigbee 3.0, introduced in 2015, aimed to unify various Zigbee
profiles into a single standard, promoting interoperability among
devices from different manufacturers.
• This version facilitated the development of a more robust ecosystem
and increased the adoption of Zigbee in smart home and industrial
applications.
• Over the years, Zigbee technology has continued to evolve, adapting
to changing technological landscapes and addressing the growing
demand for reliable, low-power wireless communication.

7. 3. Architecture
• Zigbee technology follows a layered architecture that facilitates the
communication between devices in a Zigbee network.
• The architecture is organized into different layers, each serving
specific functions to ensure reliable and efficient communication.
• The Zigbee architecture consists of the following layers:
1. Application Layer 5. Zigbee Trust Centre
2. Zigbee Cluster Library 6. MAC Layer
3. Network Layer 7.PHY Layer
4. Zigbee Device Object

9. 1.Application Layer:
• The application layer, the highest layer in the Zigbee
protocol stack, facilitates the exchange of data between
different devices and defines the specific functionality
and behavior of the network.
• The application layer defines how devices discover, join,
and communicate with each other within the Zigbee
network.
• Zigbee's application layer also incorporates security
features to protect the integrity and confidentiality of
data transmitted between devices.

10. 2. Zigbee Cluster Library:
• The Zigbee Cluster Library (ZCL) constitutes a pivotal component within
the Zigbee protocol stack, specifically addressing the application layer.
• Serving as a standardized framework, ZCL streamlines communication
between devices in Zigbee networks. It achieves this by defining a
comprehensive set of clusters, each representing a specific application
domain or functionality
• ZCL plays a crucial role in enhancing interoperability, as it establishes a
common language that devices can adhere to, fostering consistency in
communication and ensuring efficient data exchange.

11. 3. Network Layer:
• In Zigbee technology, the network layer plays a pivotal role in
establishing and maintaining communication between devices within
a Zigbee network.
• Positioned above the physical and data link layers, the network layer
is responsible for the creation, management, and routing of network
addresses.
• The network layer defines how devices join or leave the network,
manages network addressing, and determines optimal routes for data
exchange.

12. 4. Zigbee Device Object:
• The Zigbee Device Object (ZDO) constitutes a pivotal component
within the Zigbee protocol architecture.
• Operating at the application layer, the ZDO serves as the entry
point for various functionalities essential for the seamless
operation of Zigbee devices.
• Its primary responsibilities encompass device discovery, network
formation, and management, enabling devices to join or leave the
Zigbee network efficiently.

13. 5. Zigbee Trust Center (ZTC):
• The Zigbee Trust Center (ZTC) serves as a pivotal component within
Zigbee networks, playing a crucial role in ensuring the security and
integrity of communication among devices.
• Functioning as a centralized entity, the ZTC manages security keys,
authenticates devices, and oversees the secure establishment of network
connections
• It acts as a guardian, verifying the legitimacy of devices seeking to join the
network and orchestrating the distribution of cryptographic keys for secure
communication.

14. 6. MAC (Media Access Control) Layer:
• The MAC (Media Access Control) layer in Zigbee technology plays
a pivotal role in managing the access to the communication medium
within a Zigbee network.
• Situated within the Zigbee protocol stack, the MAC layer is
responsible for coordinating the transmission of data between
devices, handling channel access mechanisms, and addressing issues
related to contention and collision avoidance.
• The MAC layer's design in Zigbee contributes to the network's
ability to operate reliably, optimizing energy consumption and
facilitating effective communication among devices in a Zigbee
network.

15. 7. Physical(PHY) Layer:
• Zigbee technology operates on a robust and efficient Physical
(PHY) layer, forming the foundational basis for wireless
communication within the Zigbee protocol.
• Zigbee's PHY layer employs Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
(DSSS) modulation to enhance resilience against interference
and ensure reliable communication
• The PHY layer is responsible for managing the transmission and
reception of raw data bits over the air.

16. 4. Network Topologies
• Zigbee technology supports various network topologies, providing flexibility
for different applications. The primary Zigbee network topologies include:
1) Star Topology
2) Mesh Topology
3) Cluster Tree Topology

18. 1) Star Topology:
• In a Zigbee star network, devices communicate directly with a
central coordinator, forming a hub-and-spoke structure.
• The central coordinator acts as a coordinator for the entire network,
managing communication and routing data between individual
devices..

19. 2) Mesh Topology:
• Zigbee technology leverages a mesh topology to establish robust
and reliable wireless networks.
• In a mesh network, Zigbee devices communicate with each other,
forming multiple interconnected pathways for data transmission.

20. 3) Cluster Tree Topology:
• Zigbee technology utilizes a Cluster Tree Topology to establish efficient
and reliable communication in wireless networks.
• In this topology, devices are organized in a hierarchical structure, with a
central coordinator at the top and other devices forming clusters beneath it.
