The need for ZigBee

Standard in a fragmented market
Many proprietary solutions, interoperability issues

Simple protocol, Global Implementation 2.4GHz

Low Power consumption
6 months to more than 5 years battery life for most applications

Low Cost High density of nodes per network

250 nodes per network, multiple co-located networks

Data rate requirements

Few bits to 250kbps sufficient

The Basics of ZigBee

Implemented on IEEE 802.15.4 D18 Protocol (ratified in May 2003) Bi-directional Communications half duplex Star or Peer-to-Peer operation. Support for low latency devices (few ms maximum) CSMA-CA channel access.

Fully handshaked protocol for transfer reliability.

Low complexity: 26 primitives versus 131 primitives for 802.15.1 (Bluetooth) Low power consumption (AA batteries powered) AES-128 Security

ZigBee Interoperability Events

Level-based Testing
Three Levels of testing
RF/PHY/MAC interoperability ZigBee Network ZigBee Profiles/Security

Member companies sign up in advance with platforms to test

specifying the levels desired Similar in some ways to the Bluetooth UnPluggedFest

The first Interop event focused heavily on the Lighting Profile within the Residential/Light Commercial Group
Good participation and results
