Introduction

What is ZigBee?

• Specification of protocols for small, low-power radios

History

• May 2003: IEEE 802.15.4 completed• December 2004: ZigBee specification ratified• June 2005: public availability

ZigBee-Alliance

• Companies developing and promoting the standard• 150+ members

Concepts



slide 7 of 56

Why do we need another WPAN standard?

Decreasing

• Power consumption– ZigBee: 10mA <==> BT: 100mA

• Production costs– In the beginning of 2005– ZigBee: 1.1 $ <==> BT: 3 $

• Development costs– Codesize ZB/codesize BT = ½

• Bit-error-rate (BER)

Increasing

• Sensitivity– ZigBee: -92dbm(0,63pW) <==> BT: -82dbm(6,2pW)

• flexibility– No. of supported nodes– ZigBee: 65536 (in a mesh) <==> BT: 7 (in a star)

• Security– ZigBee: AES (128bit) <==> BT: SAFER (64/128bit)

• Latency requirements– ZigBee: optional guaranteed time slot

• Range– ZigBee: up to 75 m in LOS condition <==> BT: 10 m

Usage Scenarios

• Industrial & commercial

• Consumer electronics

• Toys & games

• PC & periphals

• Personal health care

• home/building automation

Just everything you can imagine for wireless sensor nodes or in general short range communications

ZigBee Node-Types

ZigBee Coordinator (ZBC) (IEEE 802.15.4 FFD)

• only one in a network

• initiates network

• stores information about the network

• all devices communicate with the ZBC

• routing functionality

• bridge to other networks



slide 17 of 56

ZigBee Node-Types

ZigBee Router (ZBR) (IEEE 802.15.4 FFD)

• optional component

• routes between nodes

• extends network coverage

• manages local address allocation/de-allocation



slide 18 of 56

ZigBee Node-Types

ZigBee End Device (ZBE) (IEEE 802.15.4 RFD)

• optimized for low power consumption

• cheapest device type

• communicates only with the coordinator

• sensor would be deployed here



slide 19 of 56

Addressing/Discovering ZigBee Nodes

Addressing ZigBee Nodes:

• optimized unique 64 bit address (IEEE 802.15.4)• 16 bit network address (65536 devices)• 256 sub addresses for subunits

Device Discovery

• unicast (NWK id known), broadcast (NWK id unknown)• ZBC-/ZBR-Response: IEEE address + NWK address + all

known network addresses

Binding

• creating logical links between 2 or more end devices

Addressing/Binding ZigBee Endpoints

Traffic-Types

1. Data is periodic

• application dictates rate

2. Data is intermittent

• application or stimulus dictates rate (optimun power savings)

3. Data is repetitive (fixed rate a priori)

• device gets guaranteed time slot



slide 22 of 56

Traffic-Modes

1. Beacon mode:

• beacon send

periodically

• Coordinator and end

device can go to sleep

• Lowest energy

consumption

• Pricise timing needed

• Beacon period (ms-m) picture taken from [1]

Traffic-Modes

1. Non-Beacon mode:

• coordinator/routers

have to stay awake

(robust power supply

needed)

• heterogeneous network

• asymmetric powerpicture taken from [1]

General specs and services

• Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) < 35%• -3dBm minimum transmit power (500µW)• Receiver Energy Detection (ED)• Link Quality Indication (LQI)• Use ED & LQI to reduce TX-power• Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) with 3 modes

– Energy above threshold– Carrier sense only– Carrier sense with energy above threshold

PHY layer

PHY Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) frame structure

• Frame to be sent via radio• Preamble for chip and symbol synchronization• Contains either data or data acknowlegement• Packet size 8-127 Octets• Contains MAC Protocol Data Unit (MPDU)

slide 34 of 56

MAC layer

Transfer handling

• Transaction based (indirect transmission)– Beacon indication– Polling

Problem: How do 6 and 7 talk to coordinator 0?Solution: Routing (NWK Layer)

NWK layer

Distributed address assignment

• Tree structure or self managed by higher layer• 16Bit network space divided among child routers• Child routers divide there space again for their children• Depends on:

– Maximum child count per parent– Maximum child-routers per parent– Maximum network depth

NWK layer

Routing cost

• Metric to compare „goodness“ of routes• Base: Link cost between 2 neighbors• Path cost = sum of link costs along the path• Link cost determination:

– Link quality indication from PHY– Statistical measures



slide 40 of 56

NWK layer

Route discovery

• Find or update route between specific source and destination• Started if no active route present in routing table• Broadcast routing request (RREQ) packets• Generates routing table entries for hops to source• Endpoint router responds with Routing response (RREP) packet• Routes generated for hops to destination• Routing table entry generated in source device

Routing

• Check if routing table entry exists• Initiate route discovery if possible• Hierarchical routing as fallback

Route maintenance

• Track failed deliveries to neighbors• Initiate route repair when threshold reached• Careful with network load!• In case of total connectivity loss:

– Orphaning procedure– Re-association with network
