10. MAC LAYER
 Device Classes
 Full function device (FFD)
 Can talk to any device.
 Reduced function device (RFD)
 Cannot talk to all the devices.
 Address
 All devices must have 64 bit IEEE addresses
 Short (16 bit) addresses can be allocated to reduce packet
size

11. DEVICES
• Zigbee Coordinator (ZC):
• it is the root of the network tree
• acts as a bridge to other networks.
• Zigbee Router (ZR):
• acts as an intermediate router.
• Zigbee End Devices (ZED):
• functionality to talk to the parent node.
• cannot relay data from other devices
• allows the node to be asleep .

12. MAC LAYER
 Transmission Mode
 Beacon enable mode
 Periodic data
 Repetitive low latency data using.
 Non-Beacon enable mode
 Intermittent data using.
