Abstract:
The past several years have witnessed a rapid development in the wireless network area. So far wireless
networking has been focused on high-speed and long range applications. Zigbee technology was developed for a
Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPAN), aimed at control and military applications with low data rate and
low power consumption. Zigbee is a standard defines the set of communication protocols for low-data-rate
short-range wireless networking. Zigbee-based wireless devices operate in 868 MHz, 915 MHz, and 2.4 GHz
frequency bands. The maximum data rate is 250K bits per second. Zigbee is mainly for battery-powered
applications where low data rate, low cost, and long battery life are main requirements. This paper explores
Verilog design for various blocks in Zigbee Transmitter architecture for an acknowledgement frame. The word
digital has made a dramatic impact on our society. Developments of digital solutions have been possible due to
good digital system design and modeling techniques. Further developments have been made and introduced
VLSI in order to reduce size of the architecture, to improve speed of operation, improvements in predictability
of the circuit behavior. Digital Zigbee Transmitter comprises of Cyclic Redundancy Check, Bit-to-Symbol
block, Symbol-to-chip block, Modulator and Pulse shaping block. The work here is to show how we can design
Zigbee transmitter with its specifications by using Verilog with less number of slices and Look up tables
(LUTs).
Keywords: Zigbee, CRC, LUTs, occupied slice, mobility.
I. Introduction to wireless digital
communication:
Over the last century, advances in wireless
technologies have led to the radio, television, mobile
telephone and communication satellites and all kinds
of information can now be sent to any corner of the
world. A wireless network is a flexible data
communication system which has wireless media like
radio frequencies to transmit and receive data over
the air thereby minimizing the scope of
wired communication.
Wireless networks use electromagnetic waves to
communicate from one point to another without
relying on any direct or physical connection. Radio
waves are often referred to as radio carriers because
they simply perform the function of delivering energy
to a remote receiver. The data being transmitted is
superimposed on the radio carrier so that it can be
accurately extracted at the receiving end and this is
called as modulation. Once data is modulated using a
radio carrier, the radio signal occupies more than a
single frequency, since the frequency or bit rate of
the modulating information adds to the carrier signal.
Multiple radio carriers can exist in the same
space at the same time without interfering with each
other if the radio waves are transmitted at different
radio frequencies. To extract data, a radio receiver
will be tuned to the corresponding carrier frequency
while rejecting all other frequencies. The modulated
signal will be received and the data is extracted from
the modulated signal by separating the carrier, called
as demodulation.
Wireless networks offer several advantages with
respect to convenience, productivity and cost over
traditional wired networks which are explained as
follows:
Mobility: Provides mobile users with access to real-
time information so that they can roam around in the
network without getting disconnected from the
network. This mobility supports productivity and
service opportunities which are not possible with
wired networks setups.
Installation speed and simplicity: Installing a
wireless system can be fast and easy and
can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and
ceilings which makes the setup process easier when
compared with that of wired installations.

Reach of network: The network can be extended
and shared to a new node into the network within the
radius of the network coordinator even to places
which cannot be wired.
More Flexibility: wireless networks are more
flexible and can be adapted easily by changing the
configuration of the network. The type of
environment is not an issue while installing a
wireless network which is the main factor for many
of the clients to adopt wireless networking in offices,
apartments and in general public places where
frequent modifications are required as per the user
flexibility.
Reduced cost of ownership: while the initial
investment required for wireless network hardware
can be higher than the cost of wired network
hardware, overall installation expenses and life-cycle
costs can be significantly lower in wireless
environments. Moreover the maintenance of wired
networks will be more than wireless network
maintenance.
Scalability: wireless systems can be configured in a
variety of topologies to meet the needs of specific
application. Configurations can be easily changed
and range from peer-to-peer networks suitable for a
small number of users to large infrastructure
networks that enable roaming over a broad area.
Many standards are developed with specific
application, needs and characteristics required in the
wireless communication. Of all these, Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth and Zigbee are the most complementary
standards popular round the globe. Brief introduction
about Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are given below followed
by the comparison of different standards with Zigbee
standard.
IEEE standard 802.11: Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is the wireless way to handle networking and it
is also known as 802.11 networking [1]
. The
advantage of Wi-Fi is its simplicity as it provides
mobile connectivity for a computer which is the
rapidly growing requirement. Of all the schemes
available, the IEEE 802.11 standard which is
often termed Wi-Fi has become the general standard
for mobile and computing devices because of its peak
operating speeds of around 54 Mbps which made it to
compete with wired networking. As a result of the
flexibility and performance of this, many Wi-Fi
hotpots have been set up which enabled people to use
their laptops and other mobile devices when they are
in hotels, airport lounges, cafes, and many other
places using a wireless link rather than using a cable.
Standards
There are a number of standards under the IEEE 802
LAN / MAN Standard Committee (LMSC) [2]
. Even
802.11 have variety of standards; each name will be
formed with a letter appended to the standard formed
based on the characteristics and features of that
standard. These standards cover everything from the
wireless standards themselves, to standards for
security aspects, quality of service and the like. They
are listed below along with their characteristics:
Standard Characteristics / Specifications
802.11a Wireless network bearer operating in the 5 GHz ISM band with data rate of up to 54 Mbps
802.11b Wireless network bearer operating in the 2.4 GHz ISM band with data rates of up to 11 Mbps
802.11e Quality of service and prioritization
802.11f Handover
802.11g Wireless network bearer operating in 24 GHz ISM band with data rates up to 54 Mbps
802.11h Power control
802.11i Authentication and encryption
802.11j Internetworking
802.11k Measurement reporting
802.11n Stream multiplexing
802.11s Mesh networking
The standards that are most widely known are the network bearer standards, 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g.
Network types
There are two types of networks that can be
formed: infrastructure networks and ad-hoc
networks. The infrastructure network is aimed at
office areas or to provide a Hotspot. It can be
installed instead of a wired system, and can provide
considerable cost savings, especially when used
in established offices. A backbone wired network is
still required and is connected to a server. Wireless
network is then split into a number of cells, each
serviced by a base station or Access Point (AP)
which acts as a controller for the cell. Each Access
Point may have a range between 30 and 300 meters
dependent upon the environment and the location of
the Access Point.
The other type of network that may be used is
Ad-Hoc network. This is formed when a number of
computers and peripherals are brought together. They
may be needed when several people come together
and need to share data or if they need to access a

printer without the need for having to use wire
connections. In this situation the users may only
communicate with each other and not a larger wired
network. As a result there is no Access Point and
special algorithms within the protocols are used to
enable one of the peripherals to take over the role of
master to control the network with the others acting
as slaves.
IEEE standard 802.15.1: Bluetooth
Bluetooth is based on IEEE standards 802.15.1
[3]
. Bluetooth has now established itself in the market
place enabling a variety of devices to be connected
together using wireless technology.
Bluetooth technology has come into use connecting
remote headsets to mobile phones, but it is also used
in a huge number of other applications as well.
Bluetooth technology originated in 1994 when
Ericsson came up with a concept to use a wireless
connection to connect items such as an earphone a
cordless headset and the mobile phone. Bluetooth is a
wireless data system and can carry data at speeds up
to 721Kbps in its basic form and in addition to this it
offers up to three voice channels. Bluetooth
technology enables a user to replace cables between
devices such as printers, fax machines, desktop
computers and peripherals, and a host of other digital
devices. Furthermore, it can provide a connection
between an ad-hoc wireless network and existing
wired data networks. The technology is intended to
be placed in a low cost module that can be easily
incorporated into electronics devices of all sorts.
Bluetooth uses the license free Industrial,
Scientific and Medical (ISM) frequency band for its
radio signals and enables communications to be
established between devices up to a maximum
distance of 100 meters. Running in the 2.4 GHz ISM
band, Bluetooth employs frequency hopping
techniques with the carrier modulated using
Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying (GFSK).
After a network connection is established
between two devices they change their frequency
1600 times per second thus leaving no time for
interference, and if by chance there is interference it
will be for few microseconds. No other sub network
will be working at the frequency at which other
sub networks work, thus eliminating interference.
IEEE 802.15.4
IEEE 802.15 is the working group 15 of the
IEEE 802 which specializes in Wireless PAN-
standards. It includes four task groups numbered
from 1 to 4 which are as follows:
Task group 1 (WPAN/Bluetooth): It deals with
Bluetooth, having produced the 802.15.1 standard,
published on June 14, 2002. It includes a medium
access control and physical layer specification
adapted from Bluetooth 1.1.
Task group 2 (coexistence): It deals with
coexistence of Wireless LAN 802.11 and Wireless
PAN.
Task group 3: It is in fact two groups: 3 (WPAN
High Rate) and 3a (WPAN Alternate Higher Rate),
both dealing with high-rate WPAN standards (20
Mbit/s or higher).
Task group 4 (WPAN Low Rate): It deals with
low rate but very long battery life (months or even
years). The first edition of the 802.15.4 [4]
standard
was released in May 2003. In March 2004, after
forming Task Group 4b, task group 4 put itself in
hibernation. The new Task Group 4b aims at
clarifying and enhancing specific parts of the Task
Group 4 standard.
Components of IEEE 802.15.4
IEEE 802.15.4 networks use three types of devices.
i. The network coordinator maintains the overall
network knowledge. It is the most
sophisticated one of the three types and
required the most memory and computing
power.
ii. The Full Function Device (FFD) supports all
IEEE 802.15.4 functions and features specified
by the standard. It can function as a network
coordinator. Additional memory and
computing power make it ideal for network
router functions or it could be used in network-
edge devices (where the network touches the
real world).
iii. The Reduced Function Device (RFD) carries
limited (as specified by the standard)
functionality to lower cost and complexity. It
is generally found in network-edge devices.
Zigbee
Zigbee is a wireless networking standard that is
aimed at remote control and sensors based
applications which is suitable for operation in harsh
radio environments also in isolated locations. It
builds on IEEE standard 802.15.4 which defines the
physical and MAC layers. Above this Zigbee defines
the application and security layer specifications
enabling inter-operability between products from
different manufacturers. In this way Zigbee is a
superset of the 802.15.4 specification.
With the applications for remote wireless sensing
and control growing rapidly, it is estimated that the
market size could reach hundreds of millions of
dollars in the near future. This makes Zigbee a very
attractive proposition, and one which warrants the
introduction of a focused standard.
Relation between IEEE 802.15.4 & Zigbee
The relationship between IEEE 802.15.4 and
Zigbee is similar to that between IEEE 802.11 and
the Wi-Fi Alliance. The Zigbee 1.0 specification was

ratified on 14th
December 2004 and is available to
members of the Zigbee Alliance. Most recently, the
Zigbee 2007 specification was posted on 30th
October
2007. The first Zigbee Application Profile, Home
Automation, was announced on 2nd
November 2007.
Zigbee operates in the Industrial, Scientific and
Medical (ISM) radio bands; 868 MHz in Europe,
915 MHz in the USA and Australia, and 2.4 GHz in
most jurisdictions worldwide. The technology is
intended to be simpler and less expensive than
other WPANs such as Bluetooth. Zigbee chip
vendors typically sell integrated radios and
microcontrollers with between 60K and 128K flash
memory. Radios are also available to be used with
any processor or microcontroller. Generally, the chip
vendors also offer the Zigbee software stack,
although independent versions are also available.
Because Zigbee can activate (go from sleep to
active mode) in less than 15msec, the latency can be
very low and devices can be very responsive —
particularly compared to Bluetooth’s wake-up delay,
which is typically around three seconds. Because
Zigbee can sleep most of the time, average power
consumption can be very low, resulting in longer
battery life.
The first stack release is now called Zigbee 2004.
The second stack release is called Zigbee 2006, and
mainly replaces the MSG/KVP structure used in 2004
with a Cluster Library. The 2004 stack is now more
or less obsolete. Zigbee 2007, now the current stack
release, contains two stack profiles, stack profile 1
(simply called Zigbee), and stack profile 2 (called
Zigbee Pro). Zigbee Pro offers more features, such as
multi-casting, many-to-one routing and high security
with Symmetric-Key Key Exchange [5]
(SKKE),
while Zigbee offers a smaller footprint in RAM and
flash. Both offer full mesh networking and work with
all Zigbee application profiles.
Zigbee 2007 is fully backward compatible with
Zigbee 2006 devices: A Zigbee 2007 device may join
and operate on a Zigbee 2006 network and vice
versa. Due to differences in routing options, Zigbee
Pro devices must become non-routing Zigbee End-
Devices (ZEDs) on a Zigbee 2006 or Zigbee 2007
network, the same as Zigbee 2006 or Zigbee 2007
devices must become ZEDs on a Zigbee Pro network.
The applications running on those devices work the
same, regardless of the stack profile beneath them.
CHAPTER II
II. Literature Review:
Several wireless monitoring and control
applications for industrial and home applications
which require longer battery life, lower data rates and
less complexity than those from existing standards
are present. The market requirement is a globally
designed standard which is reliable, secure, with low
power and cost. Zigbee defines a set of
communication protocols for low data rate short
range wireless networking with various topologies.
Since Zigbee and its underlying standard IEEE
802.15.4 are recent, there has been little research
investigating the power consumption/dissipation and
silicon occupancy, speed of operation and
performance. The broad area of problem is that
designing a Zigbee transmitter in order to attain
improvements in terms of area, power and
performance.
The Zigbee standard is developed by Zigbee
Alliance, which has adopted IEEE 802.15.4 for
Zigbee Physical layer (PHY) and Medium Access
Control (MAC) protocols. Zigbee standard is
developed to fulfill the need for very low cost
implementation of lower data rate wireless networks
with reduced power consumption. The Zigbee
standard helps to reduce the implementation cost by
simplifying the communication protocols and
reducing the transmission rate. The minimum
requirements to meet Zigbee and IEEE 802.15.4
specifications are relatively relaxed compared to
other standards such as IEEE 802.11, which reduces
the complexity and cost of implementing Zigbee
Transceivers. Zigbee protocol layers are based on the
Open Source Interconnect (OSI) reference model [6]
.
The stack architecture of Zigbee is as shown below.
It consists of all the layers from OSI reference model
where the MAC and PHY layers are from the
standard IEEE 802.15.4. The main internal contents
of the stack are also represented in the picture.

Fig: Stack architecture
Dividing a network protocol into layers has more
advantages. The lower layers of the protocol are
independent of the application and can be obtained
from a third party, so all that needs to be done is to
make changes in the application layer of the protocol.
The Zigbee standard defines only the networking,
application and security layers of the protocol and
adopts IEEE 802.15.4 PHY and MAC layers as part
of Zigbee networking protocol as shown above. The
advantage of custom proprietary
networking/application layers is the smaller size
memory footprint is required to implement the entire
protocol which results in the reduction of
implementation cost. There are three important
factors which induces the selection of Zigbee for
Wireless PAN:
1. The low cost allows the technology to be widely
deployed in wireless control and monitoring
applications
2. The low power-usage allows longer power-up
times with smaller batteries
3. The mesh networking provides high reliability
and more extensive range
Rafidah Ahmad et al. has designed and
implemented a Zigbee digital transmitter for an
acknowledgement frame alone [7]
. It is modeled using
Verilog Hardware Description Language and is then
implemented on Spartan 3E FPGA. This digital
transmitter consists of Cyclic Redundancy Check
(CRC) [8]
, Bit to Symbol, Symbol to Chip and
OQPSK modulator, a pattern generator and logic
analyzer. Since Verilog is used, it shows 35%
improvement in number of slices used, 11% in Flip
flops used, 30% in Look Up tables used and 92% in
number of multiplexers used. The transmitter is
designed in a shorter timeframe because of combined
usage of FPGA and Verilog.
The modulation techniques used in Zigbee are
mentioned as follows:
ZigBee uses Offset Quadrature Phase-Shift Keying
(OQPSK) and DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread
Pasala Raja Prakasha Rao Int. Journal of Engineering Research and Applications www.ijera.com

Spectrum) for modulating radio-signals in physical
layer [9]
. Spread Spectrum is the spreading of the
original bandwidth of the signal into a much wider
frequency range. It offers interesting advantages. For
example, these signals can coexist with narrow band
signals and they appear as noise for other receivers
thus increasing the security of the data transmitted or
received.
Original signal is multiplied by a noise signal
generated by a pseudorandom sequence that
oscillates between +1 and -1 with a chip time (Tc)
much less than the bit time of the signal (Tb). These
PN sequences are not completely random
(deterministic). The longer the period is, the more
similar is the resulting signal to white-noise.

Fig: organization of blocks in Zigbee transmitter
Ting Ting Meng et al. has designed,
implemented and tested the Zigbee receiver with a
commercially available off-the-shelf Zigbee
transceiver [10]
. The receiver was defined in Harris
System-in-package (SIP) and implemented through
Xilinx Virtex-4 LX60 field-programmable gate array
(FPGA). The receiver consists of carrier
synchronization, IF down-conversion, filtering
quadrature demodulation, chip synchronization, and
dispreading blocks. The Harris SIP platform was
equipped with high resolution ADC and Xilinx
Virtex-4 FPGAs and all digital PLL and demodulator
have been created to operate inside FPGA. The
implementation results showed that the slices used
are up to 11% of 26624, with 6% flip-flops and 7%
look-up-tables (LUTs) usages.
Zigbee transmitter was designed by Rahmani
using VHDL and implemented on Spartan-2 FPGA
board [11]
. The transmitter architecture comprised of
bit-to-symbol converter, symbol-to-chip and offset
quadrature phase-shift keying (OQPSK) modulator.
The implementation result obtained was 150,000
gates have been used. The efficient generation of the
transmit signal according to the IEEE 802.15.4 PHY
can be achieved by using single step I/Q conversion
or VCO modulation transmitter topologies. Synplify
Pro was used as the synthesis tool and net list is
created from the VHDL source. The transmitter is
then test on-board.
These two papers prove that the VHDL
instruction involves a large number of slices.
Therefore, it contributes to a large design size. The
digital part of Zigbee transmitters can be designed
either with schematic, Matlab, or very high-speed
integrated circuit hardware description language
(VHDL). Shuaib et al. developed and simulated the
transmitter design using Matlab/Simulink and its
performance was evaluated. In PHY layer, Zigbee
uses DSSS as spreading technique, which is to
increase its power and reduce the influence of noise
from nearby network. The 2.4GHz band used
OQPSK technique for chip modulation. Each 4-bit

symbol is mapped into 15 chip PN sequence. In 915
MHz and 868 MHz bands 1-bit symbol is mapped
and uses BPSK for modulation. Having several
frequency bands makes it possible to relocate within
the available spectrum.
The MAC layer controls the access to the
communication channel. It provides flow control
through acknowledgements and retransmission.
Three models for the three physical layer Zigbee
bands are designed. However, schematic is
inappropriate for large designs, where more logic
functionality is usually involved. From the above
survey, we can easily analyze that many scholars
have designed the Zigbee transmitter using
Matlab/Simulink, Schematic and also using VHDL
and implemented through Spartan and Virtex.
Transmitter designed using Verilog uses lesser
number of slices, LUTs, etc. Thus, my paper is
designing of Zigbee transmitter for PHY & MAC
layer of IEEE 802.15.4 standard using Verilog and is
to be analyzed with the simulated results obtained
through Xilinx in order to reduce cost and
complexity. Acknowledgement frame structure in
Zigbee transmission is as shown below:
Fig: Acknowledgement frame structure
The IEEE 802.15.4 defines four MAC frame
structures: beacon, data, acknowledgement and MAC
command frames. The beacon frame is used by a
coordinator to transmit beacons. The function of
beacons is to synchronize the clock of all the devices
within the same network. The data frame is used to
transmit data. The acknowledgment frame is used to
confirm successful frame reception. A MAC
command is transmitted using MAC command frame.
III. Objectives:
A Zigbee transmitter is to be designed for PHY
and MAC layers for an acknowledgement frame.
This design is going to be modeled using Verilog
HDL and simulated using Xilinx ISE simulator. The
performance of operation of the proposed design
should satisfy the theoretical specifications and will
be verified with the simulation results.
The proposed system can be represented as block
diagram as follows:

Fig: proposed Zigbee transmitter
IV. Assumptions:
The transmitter is assumed to be working at the
ISM frequency 2.4GHz and the modulation technique
adopted is OQPSK. The system is designed with the
following specifications:
Data rate: 250 Kbps
No. of channels: 16
Operating frequency: 2.4 GHz
Channel spacing: 5 MHz
Spread spectrum: Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
Chip rate: 2 Mega chips per second
Modulation: OQPSK with half sine Pulse shaping
V. Research methodology:
The most common error detection techniques are
redundancy checking, checksum, longitudinal
redundancy checking, and cyclic redundancy
checking.
CRC polynomial:
Using CRC will detect approximately 99.99% of
all errors occur during transmission. 16 bits are used
for the block check sequence in CRC-16 where the
entire data stream is treated as a long continuous
binary number. As the Block Check Sequence (BCS)
is separate from the message but transported within
the same transmission, CRC is considered as
Systematic Code. Cyclic Block codes are often
written as (n, k) where n is the bit length of
transmission and k is the bit length of the message.
The length of the Block Check Character (BCC) in
bits is
BCC = n-k
The mathematical expression for CRC-16 is
evaluated in this paper.
VI. Expected outcome:
Waveforms which are generated by the
Simulator corresponding to the Verilog code are
expected which is the bit sequence representing the
Acknowledgement frame in the Zigbee transmitter.
VII. Potential for future research:
The outputs of each block are to be verified in
order to feed the next block without any mismatch.
For this the blocks are to be synthesized and then it
should be verified.
The modulation technique can be altered or
improved to reduce inter symbol interference.
Research has to be done to optimize the symbol-
to-chip block for improvement in time and
occupancy.

Verilog Based Design and Simulation of MAC and PHY Layers for Zigbee Digital Transmitter

  • 1. Pasala Raja Prakasha Rao Int. Journal of Engineering Research and Applications www.ijera.com ISSN : 2248-9622, Vol. 4, Issue 12( Part 5), December 2014, pp.09-17 www.ijera.com 9 | P a g e Verilog Based Design and Simulation of MAC and PHY Layers for Zigbee Digital Transmitter Pasala Raja Prakasha Rao*, Dr.B.Rajendra Naik** *Ph.D Scholar, Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, JJT University, JhunJhunu, Rajasthan. **Professor&Head, Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, Osmania University, Hyderabad, Telangana. Abstract: The past several years have witnessed a rapid development in the wireless network area. So far wireless networking has been focused on high-speed and long range applications. Zigbee technology was developed for a Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPAN), aimed at control and military applications with low data rate and low power consumption. Zigbee is a standard defines the set of communication protocols for low-data-rate short-range wireless networking. Zigbee-based wireless devices operate in 868 MHz, 915 MHz, and 2.4 GHz frequency bands. The maximum data rate is 250K bits per second. Zigbee is mainly for battery-powered applications where low data rate, low cost, and long battery life are main requirements. This paper explores Verilog design for various blocks in Zigbee Transmitter architecture for an acknowledgement frame. The word digital has made a dramatic impact on our society. Developments of digital solutions have been possible due to good digital system design and modeling techniques. Further developments have been made and introduced VLSI in order to reduce size of the architecture, to improve speed of operation, improvements in predictability of the circuit behavior. Digital Zigbee Transmitter comprises of Cyclic Redundancy Check, Bit-to-Symbol block, Symbol-to-chip block, Modulator and Pulse shaping block. The work here is to show how we can design Zigbee transmitter with its specifications by using Verilog with less number of slices and Look up tables (LUTs). Keywords: Zigbee, CRC, LUTs, occupied slice, mobility. I. Introduction to wireless digital communication: Over the last century, advances in wireless technologies have led to the radio, television, mobile telephone and communication satellites and all kinds of information can now be sent to any corner of the world. A wireless network is a flexible data communication system which has wireless media like radio frequencies to transmit and receive data over the air thereby minimizing the scope of wired communication. Wireless networks use electromagnetic waves to communicate from one point to another without relying on any direct or physical connection. Radio waves are often referred to as radio carriers because they simply perform the function of delivering energy to a remote receiver. The data being transmitted is superimposed on the radio carrier so that it can be accurately extracted at the receiving end and this is called as modulation. Once data is modulated using a radio carrier, the radio signal occupies more than a single frequency, since the frequency or bit rate of the modulating information adds to the carrier signal. Multiple radio carriers can exist in the same space at the same time without interfering with each other if the radio waves are transmitted at different radio frequencies. To extract data, a radio receiver will be tuned to the corresponding carrier frequency while rejecting all other frequencies. The modulated signal will be received and the data is extracted from the modulated signal by separating the carrier, called as demodulation. Wireless networks offer several advantages with respect to convenience, productivity and cost over traditional wired networks which are explained as follows: Mobility: Provides mobile users with access to real- time information so that they can roam around in the network without getting disconnected from the network. This mobility supports productivity and service opportunities which are not possible with wired networks setups.

More Flexibility: wireless networks are more flexible and can be adapted easily by changing the configuration of the network. The type of environment is not an issue while installing a wireless network which is the main factor for many of the clients to adopt wireless networking in offices, apartments and in general public places where frequent modifications are required as per the user flexibility. Reduced cost of ownership: while the initial investment required for wireless network hardware can be higher than the cost of wired network hardware, overall installation expenses and life-cycle costs can be significantly lower in wireless environments. Moreover the maintenance of wired networks will be more than wireless network maintenance. Scalability: wireless systems can be configured in a variety of topologies to meet the needs of specific application. Configurations can be easily changed and range from peer-to-peer networks suitable for a small number of users to large infrastructure networks that enable roaming over a broad area. Many standards are developed with specific application, needs and characteristics required in the wireless communication. Of all these, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Zigbee are the most complementary standards popular round the globe. Brief introduction about Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are given below followed by the comparison of different standards with Zigbee standard. IEEE standard 802.11: Wi-Fi Wi-Fi is the wireless way to handle networking and it is also known as 802.11 networking [1] . The advantage of Wi-Fi is its simplicity as it provides mobile connectivity for a computer which is the rapidly growing requirement. Of all the schemes available, the IEEE 802.11 standard which is often termed Wi-Fi has become the general standard for mobile and computing devices because of its peak operating speeds of around 54 Mbps which made it to compete with wired networking. As a result of the flexibility and performance of this, many Wi-Fi hotpots have been set up which enabled people to use their laptops and other mobile devices when they are in hotels, airport lounges, cafes, and many other places using a wireless link rather than using a cable. Standards There are a number of standards under the IEEE 802 LAN / MAN Standard Committee (LMSC) [2] . Even 802.11 have variety of standards; each name will be formed with a letter appended to the standard formed based on the characteristics and features of that standard. These standards cover everything from the wireless standards themselves, to standards for security aspects, quality of service and the like. They are listed below along with their characteristics: Standard Characteristics / Specifications 802.11a Wireless network bearer operating in the 5 GHz ISM band with data rate of up to 54 Mbps 802.11b Wireless network bearer operating in the 2.4 GHz ISM band with data rates of up to 11 Mbps 802.11e Quality of service and prioritization 802.11f Handover 802.11g Wireless network bearer operating in 24 GHz ISM band with data rates up to 54 Mbps 802.11h Power control 802.11i Authentication and encryption 802.11j Internetworking 802.11k Measurement reporting 802.11n Stream multiplexing 802.11s Mesh networking The standards that are most widely known are the network bearer standards, 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g. Network types There are two types of networks that can be formed: infrastructure networks and ad-hoc networks. The infrastructure network is aimed at office areas or to provide a Hotspot. It can be installed instead of a wired system, and can provide considerable cost savings, especially when used in established offices. A backbone wired network is still required and is connected to a server. Wireless network is then split into a number of cells, each serviced by a base station or Access Point (AP) which acts as a controller for the cell. Each Access Point may have a range between 30 and 300 meters dependent upon the environment and the location of the Access Point. The other type of network that may be used is Ad-Hoc network. This is formed when a number of computers and peripherals are brought together. They may be needed when several people come together and need to share data or if they need to access a

In this situation the users may only communicate with each other and not a larger wired network. As a result there is no Access Point and special algorithms within the protocols are used to enable one of the peripherals to take over the role of master to control the network with the others acting as slaves. IEEE standard 802.15.1: Bluetooth Bluetooth is based on IEEE standards 802.15.1 [3] . Bluetooth has now established itself in the market place enabling a variety of devices to be connected together using wireless technology. Bluetooth technology has come into use connecting remote headsets to mobile phones, but it is also used in a huge number of other applications as well. Bluetooth technology originated in 1994 when Ericsson came up with a concept to use a wireless connection to connect items such as an earphone a cordless headset and the mobile phone. Bluetooth is a wireless data system and can carry data at speeds up to 721Kbps in its basic form and in addition to this it offers up to three voice channels. Bluetooth technology enables a user to replace cables between devices such as printers, fax machines, desktop computers and peripherals, and a host of other digital devices. Furthermore, it can provide a connection between an ad-hoc wireless network and existing wired data networks. The technology is intended to be placed in a low cost module that can be easily incorporated into electronics devices of all sorts. Bluetooth uses the license free Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) frequency band for its radio signals and enables communications to be established between devices up to a maximum distance of 100 meters. Running in the 2.4 GHz ISM band, Bluetooth employs frequency hopping techniques with the carrier modulated using Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying (GFSK). After a network connection is established between two devices they change their frequency 1600 times per second thus leaving no time for interference, and if by chance there is interference it will be for few microseconds. No other sub network will be working at the frequency at which other sub networks work, thus eliminating interference. IEEE 802.15.4 IEEE 802.15 is the working group 15 of the IEEE 802 which specializes in Wireless PAN- standards. It includes four task groups numbered from 1 to 4 which are as follows: Task group 1 (WPAN/Bluetooth): It deals with Bluetooth, having produced the 802.15.1 standard, published on June 14, 2002. It includes a medium access control and physical layer specification adapted from Bluetooth 1.1. Task group 2 (coexistence): It deals with coexistence of Wireless LAN 802.11 and Wireless PAN. Task group 3: It is in fact two groups: 3 (WPAN High Rate) and 3a (WPAN Alternate Higher Rate), both dealing with high-rate WPAN standards (20 Mbit/s or higher). Task group 4 (WPAN Low Rate): It deals with low rate but very long battery life (months or even years). The first edition of the 802.15.4 [4] standard was released in May 2003. In March 2004, after forming Task Group 4b, task group 4 put itself in hibernation. The new Task Group 4b aims at clarifying and enhancing specific parts of the Task Group 4 standard. Components of IEEE 802.15.4 IEEE 802.15.4 networks use three types of devices. i. The network coordinator maintains the overall network knowledge. It is the most sophisticated one of the three types and required the most memory and computing power. ii. The Full Function Device (FFD) supports all IEEE 802.15.4 functions and features specified by the standard. It can function as a network coordinator. Additional memory and computing power make it ideal for network router functions or it could be used in network- edge devices (where the network touches the real world). iii. The Reduced Function Device (RFD) carries limited (as specified by the standard) functionality to lower cost and complexity. It is generally found in network-edge devices. Zigbee Zigbee is a wireless networking standard that is aimed at remote control and sensors based applications which is suitable for operation in harsh radio environments also in isolated locations. It builds on IEEE standard 802.15.4 which defines the physical and MAC layers. Above this Zigbee defines the application and security layer specifications enabling inter-operability between products from different manufacturers. In this way Zigbee is a superset of the 802.15.4 specification. With the applications for remote wireless sensing and control growing rapidly, it is estimated that the market size could reach hundreds of millions of dollars in the near future. This makes Zigbee a very attractive proposition, and one which warrants the introduction of a focused standard. Relation between IEEE 802.15.4 & Zigbee The relationship between IEEE 802.15.4 and Zigbee is similar to that between IEEE 802.11 and the Wi-Fi Alliance. The Zigbee 1.0 specification was

Most recently, the Zigbee 2007 specification was posted on 30th October 2007. The first Zigbee Application Profile, Home Automation, was announced on 2nd November 2007. Zigbee operates in the Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) radio bands; 868 MHz in Europe, 915 MHz in the USA and Australia, and 2.4 GHz in most jurisdictions worldwide. The technology is intended to be simpler and less expensive than other WPANs such as Bluetooth. Zigbee chip vendors typically sell integrated radios and microcontrollers with between 60K and 128K flash memory. Radios are also available to be used with any processor or microcontroller. Generally, the chip vendors also offer the Zigbee software stack, although independent versions are also available. Because Zigbee can activate (go from sleep to active mode) in less than 15msec, the latency can be very low and devices can be very responsive — particularly compared to Bluetooth’s wake-up delay, which is typically around three seconds. Because Zigbee can sleep most of the time, average power consumption can be very low, resulting in longer battery life. The first stack release is now called Zigbee 2004. The second stack release is called Zigbee 2006, and mainly replaces the MSG/KVP structure used in 2004 with a Cluster Library. The 2004 stack is now more or less obsolete. Zigbee 2007, now the current stack release, contains two stack profiles, stack profile 1 (simply called Zigbee), and stack profile 2 (called Zigbee Pro). Zigbee Pro offers more features, such as multi-casting, many-to-one routing and high security with Symmetric-Key Key Exchange [5] (SKKE), while Zigbee offers a smaller footprint in RAM and flash. Both offer full mesh networking and work with all Zigbee application profiles. Zigbee 2007 is fully backward compatible with Zigbee 2006 devices: A Zigbee 2007 device may join and operate on a Zigbee 2006 network and vice versa. Due to differences in routing options, Zigbee Pro devices must become non-routing Zigbee End- Devices (ZEDs) on a Zigbee 2006 or Zigbee 2007 network, the same as Zigbee 2006 or Zigbee 2007 devices must become ZEDs on a Zigbee Pro network. The applications running on those devices work the same, regardless of the stack profile beneath them. CHAPTER II II. Literature Review: Several wireless monitoring and control applications for industrial and home applications which require longer battery life, lower data rates and less complexity than those from existing standards are present. The market requirement is a globally designed standard which is reliable, secure, with low power and cost. Zigbee defines a set of communication protocols for low data rate short range wireless networking with various topologies. Since Zigbee and its underlying standard IEEE 802.15.4 are recent, there has been little research investigating the power consumption/dissipation and silicon occupancy, speed of operation and performance. The broad area of problem is that designing a Zigbee transmitter in order to attain improvements in terms of area, power and performance. The Zigbee standard is developed by Zigbee Alliance, which has adopted IEEE 802.15.4 for Zigbee Physical layer (PHY) and Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols. Zigbee standard is developed to fulfill the need for very low cost implementation of lower data rate wireless networks with reduced power consumption. The Zigbee standard helps to reduce the implementation cost by simplifying the communication protocols and reducing the transmission rate. The minimum requirements to meet Zigbee and IEEE 802.15.4 specifications are relatively relaxed compared to other standards such as IEEE 802.11, which reduces the complexity and cost of implementing Zigbee Transceivers. Zigbee protocol layers are based on the Open Source Interconnect (OSI) reference model [6] . The stack architecture of Zigbee is as shown below. It consists of all the layers from OSI reference model where the MAC and PHY layers are from the standard IEEE 802.15.4. The main internal contents of the stack are also represented in the picture.

The lower layers of the protocol are independent of the application and can be obtained from a third party, so all that needs to be done is to make changes in the application layer of the protocol. The Zigbee standard defines only the networking, application and security layers of the protocol and adopts IEEE 802.15.4 PHY and MAC layers as part of Zigbee networking protocol as shown above. The advantage of custom proprietary networking/application layers is the smaller size memory footprint is required to implement the entire protocol which results in the reduction of implementation cost. There are three important factors which induces the selection of Zigbee for Wireless PAN: 1. The low cost allows the technology to be widely deployed in wireless control and monitoring applications 2. The low power-usage allows longer power-up times with smaller batteries 3. The mesh networking provides high reliability and more extensive range Rafidah Ahmad et al. has designed and implemented a Zigbee digital transmitter for an acknowledgement frame alone [7] . It is modeled using Verilog Hardware Description Language and is then implemented on Spartan 3E FPGA. This digital transmitter consists of Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) [8] , Bit to Symbol, Symbol to Chip and OQPSK modulator, a pattern generator and logic analyzer. Since Verilog is used, it shows 35% improvement in number of slices used, 11% in Flip flops used, 30% in Look Up tables used and 92% in number of multiplexers used. The transmitter is designed in a shorter timeframe because of combined usage of FPGA and Verilog. The modulation techniques used in Zigbee are mentioned as follows: ZigBee uses Offset Quadrature Phase-Shift Keying (OQPSK) and DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread

Spread Spectrum is the spreading of the original bandwidth of the signal into a much wider frequency range. It offers interesting advantages. For example, these signals can coexist with narrow band signals and they appear as noise for other receivers thus increasing the security of the data transmitted or received. Original signal is multiplied by a noise signal generated by a pseudorandom sequence that oscillates between +1 and -1 with a chip time (Tc) much less than the bit time of the signal (Tb). These PN sequences are not completely random (deterministic). The longer the period is, the more similar is the resulting signal to white-noise. Fig: organization of blocks for spreading and de-spreading in the Zigbee organization Fig: organization of blocks in Zigbee transmitter Ting Ting Meng et al. has designed, implemented and tested the Zigbee receiver with a commercially available off-the-shelf Zigbee transceiver [10] . The receiver was defined in Harris System-in-package (SIP) and implemented through Xilinx Virtex-4 LX60 field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The receiver consists of carrier synchronization, IF down-conversion, filtering quadrature demodulation, chip synchronization, and dispreading blocks. The Harris SIP platform was equipped with high resolution ADC and Xilinx Virtex-4 FPGAs and all digital PLL and demodulator have been created to operate inside FPGA. The implementation results showed that the slices used are up to 11% of 26624, with 6% flip-flops and 7% look-up-tables (LUTs) usages. Zigbee transmitter was designed by Rahmani using VHDL and implemented on Spartan-2 FPGA board [11] . The transmitter architecture comprised of bit-to-symbol converter, symbol-to-chip and offset quadrature phase-shift keying (OQPSK) modulator. The implementation result obtained was 150,000 gates have been used. The efficient generation of the transmit signal according to the IEEE 802.15.4 PHY can be achieved by using single step I/Q conversion or VCO modulation transmitter topologies. Synplify Pro was used as the synthesis tool and net list is created from the VHDL source. The transmitter is then test on-board. These two papers prove that the VHDL instruction involves a large number of slices. Therefore, it contributes to a large design size. The digital part of Zigbee transmitters can be designed either with schematic, Matlab, or very high-speed integrated circuit hardware description language (VHDL). Shuaib et al. developed and simulated the transmitter design using Matlab/Simulink and its performance was evaluated. In PHY layer, Zigbee uses DSSS as spreading technique, which is to increase its power and reduce the influence of noise from nearby network. The 2.4GHz band used OQPSK technique for chip modulation. Each 4-bit

In 915 MHz and 868 MHz bands 1-bit symbol is mapped and uses BPSK for modulation. Having several frequency bands makes it possible to relocate within the available spectrum. The MAC layer controls the access to the communication channel. It provides flow control through acknowledgements and retransmission. Three models for the three physical layer Zigbee bands are designed. However, schematic is inappropriate for large designs, where more logic functionality is usually involved. From the above survey, we can easily analyze that many scholars have designed the Zigbee transmitter using Matlab/Simulink, Schematic and also using VHDL and implemented through Spartan and Virtex. Transmitter designed using Verilog uses lesser number of slices, LUTs, etc. Thus, my paper is designing of Zigbee transmitter for PHY & MAC layer of IEEE 802.15.4 standard using Verilog and is to be analyzed with the simulated results obtained through Xilinx in order to reduce cost and complexity. Acknowledgement frame structure in Zigbee transmission is as shown below: Fig: Acknowledgement frame structure The IEEE 802.15.4 defines four MAC frame structures: beacon, data, acknowledgement and MAC command frames. The beacon frame is used by a coordinator to transmit beacons. The function of beacons is to synchronize the clock of all the devices within the same network. The data frame is used to transmit data. The acknowledgment frame is used to confirm successful frame reception. A MAC command is transmitted using MAC command frame. III. Objectives: A Zigbee transmitter is to be designed for PHY and MAC layers for an acknowledgement frame. This design is going to be modeled using Verilog HDL and simulated using Xilinx ISE simulator. The performance of operation of the proposed design should satisfy the theoretical specifications and will be verified with the simulation results. The proposed system can be represented as block diagram as follows:

Assumptions: The transmitter is assumed to be working at the ISM frequency 2.4GHz and the modulation technique adopted is OQPSK. The system is designed with the following specifications: Data rate: 250 Kbps No. of channels: 16 Operating frequency: 2.4 GHz Channel spacing: 5 MHz Spread spectrum: Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Chip rate: 2 Mega chips per second Modulation: OQPSK with half sine Pulse shaping V. Research methodology: The most common error detection techniques are redundancy checking, checksum, longitudinal redundancy checking, and cyclic redundancy checking. CRC polynomial: Using CRC will detect approximately 99.99% of all errors occur during transmission. 16 bits are used for the block check sequence in CRC-16 where the entire data stream is treated as a long continuous binary number. As the Block Check Sequence (BCS) is separate from the message but transported within the same transmission, CRC is considered as Systematic Code. Cyclic Block codes are often written as (n, k) where n is the bit length of transmission and k is the bit length of the message. The length of the Block Check Character (BCC) in bits is BCC = n-k The mathematical expression for CRC-16 is evaluated in this paper. VI. Expected outcome: Waveforms which are generated by the Simulator corresponding to the Verilog code are expected which is the bit sequence representing the Acknowledgement frame in the Zigbee transmitter. VII. Potential for future research: The outputs of each block are to be verified in order to feed the next block without any mismatch. For this the blocks are to be synthesized and then it should be verified. The modulation technique can be altered or improved to reduce inter symbol interference. Research has to be done to optimize the symbol- to-chip block for improvement in time and occupancy. References [1] Brian P.
