—ZigBee has attracted attention for constructing the sensor network such as home energy management system. Both ZigBee and wireless LAN (WLAN) use a 2.4GHz band, called the industrial, scientific, and medical unlicensed band; therefore, ZigBee faces severe interference problems in the presence of WLAN. Frame collisions are serious problems between ZigBee and WLAN. Both employ a carrier sense m...

ZigBee technology was developed for special wireless networks where Bluetooth & wi-fi technologies are not showing better results. In wireless personal area networks (PAN) where we need to transmit low data rate information in comparatively large area (10-100 m) [1]. We can use Zigbee transceiver system instead of other technologies. As the functionality of SimpliciTI and Zigbee Technology is s...

ZIGBEE is one of the most widely used transceiver standard in wireless sensor networks. Zigbee over IEEE 802.15.4., defines specifications for low rate WPAN(LR-WPAN) to support lower monitoring and controlling devices. Zigbee is developed by Zigbee alliance ,which has hundreds of member companies. Zigbee alliance(software) defines the network, security and application layers. IEEE802.15.4(hardw...

WSNs are becoming an important topic in the research arena. Their low cost and the wide range of applications where wireless sensor networks can be applied, make them an important research and commercial field in the short term. Furthermore, the IEEE 802.15.4 standard for physical and MAC layer in addition with the Zigbee specification for the network and application layer, are an enforcement f...

Based on IEEE 802.15.4 Low Rate-Wireless Personal Area Network (LR-WPAN) standard, the Zigbee standard has been proposed to interconnect simple, low rate and battery powered wireless devices. The deployment of Zigbee networks is expected to facilitate numerous applications such as Home-appliance networks, home healthcare, medical monitoring and environmental sensors. An effective routing scheme...

in this work I have proposed different network architectures using OPNET which consists of combination of ZigBee and WiMAX topologies. ZigBee is used to sense the data from the human body whereas WiMAX is used as a backbone to deliver the data at the distant location using microwave links. The nee of using WiMAX with ZigBee arises as ZigBee network’s coverage area is limited to few meters. This...

The basic functions and the relative concepts of ZigBee network are analyzed in this paper. The implementation method of ZigBee network layer is proposed, and then a algorism about how to built a Zigbee network is defined. Finally, a experiment is simulated by prove the liveness of the Zigbee network, the result shows the PC can get the monitored data from the Zigbee network.
