Abstract
The concept of Zigbee is associated with controlling all electronic deceives and communicating with them self in the surrounding by using simple our mobile or P.c. by using this latest wireless technology. The serious problem in this world cables with tremendous growth in science this can with this. Zigbee act as sensor and controller Zigbee is operated at 2.4 GHz (ISM) bandwidth and IEEE standard is 802.15.4.This operated at low end frequency (HOME RF). It has data rate of 250 Kbps .This act as co-ordinate and slave. This gives commands and receives commands from other electronic deceives. This technology forms PAN topologies. This can connect up to 65,553 deceives per unit. It operated in 16 channels each channel take 868 Mbps. This is operated with in distance 75 to 100 Mts .The important feature of Zigbee is providing with memory and logical unit for first time. This helps in taking independent decisions by itself with need of co-ordinator, which help in sensor deceives. There are technologies, which already available in the market like Blue tooth. Theyre some ensured suides in that which lead to develop Zigbee. It has major advantage that it has low power consumption (30 milli Amps). In blue tooth reacting time 3 seconds but in Zigbee it will take only 3 Milli seconds. Other advantage is that it provides high security to all electronic deceives. Another imported thing is that it of low cost. This can all purpose in industries and home appliances. It is very simple to operate by ever one. By all my statements I can conclude that in future we are going to new world with cables, ever thing is done by single controls with out using muti switches muti purposes. All electronic deceives are provided with high security. Every thing is going to automatically this future project of Zigbee alliences.By supporting all the above statements I can say that ZIGBEE IS TO BIG B.

1.INTRODUCTION:
Now a days every electronic deceive is provided with sensor controller .It is every difficult to provide charged batteries to controllers and also to maintain them. At same time it must provide with logical thinking to protect deceive from wizards Imagine your home appliances communicating with each other or you controlling them using your cell phone or PC. Youre able to monitor and control the ambient temperature, moisture and Noises in the individual rooms, find out which room your kids are in or unlock the entry door to let your friend in from a remote location.
In the not-too-distant future, all this will be possible with ZigBee, which is expected to become a Big B.It would be common to find as many as a hundred of ZigBee chips around the house in the form of light switches, fire and smoke detectors, thermostats, kitchen appliances, video and audio remote controls, security systems, etc.
This manual provides an introduction to the various components of a ZigBee network. After a quick overview of ZigBee, we start with a description of high-level concepts used in wireless communication and move on to the specific protocols needed to implement the communication standards. This is
ZIGBEE
followed by a description of using a Rabbit-based board and Dynamic C libraries to form a ZigBee network.
ZigBee, a specification for communication in a wireless personal area network (WPAN), has been called the Internet of things. Theoretically, your ZigBee-enabled coffee maker can communicate with your ZigBee-enabled toaster. The benefits of this technology go far beyond the novelty of kitchen appliances coordinating your breakfast. ZigBee applications include: Home and office automation Industrial automation Medical monitoring Low-power sensors HVAC control Plus many other control and monitoring uses ZigBee targets the application domain of low power, low duty cycle and low data rate requirement devices. Figure 1.1 shows a block diagram of a ZigBee network with five
nodes.

2. Wireless communication:
2.1Communication Systems All wireless communication systems have the following components Transmitter Receiver
ZIGBEE
Antennas Path between the transmitter and the receiver In short, the transmitter feeds a signal of encoded data modulated into RF waves into the antenna. The Antenna radiates the signal through the air where it is picked up by the antenna of the receiver. The receiver demodulates the RF waves back into the encoded data stream sent by the transmitter. 2.2 Wireless Network Types There are a number of different types of networks used in wireless communication. Network types are typically defined by size and location. 2.2.1 WPAN A wireless personal area network (WPAN) is meant to span a small area such as a private home or an individual workspace. It is used to communicate over a relatively short distance. The specification does not preclude longer ranges being achieved with the trade-off of a lower data rate. In contrast to other network types, there is little to no need for infrastructure with a WPAN. Ad-hoc networking is one of the key concepts in WPANs. This allows devices to be part of the network temporarily; they can join and leave at will. This works well for mobile devices like PDAs, laptops and phones. Some of the protocols employing WPAN include Bluetooth, ZigBee, Ultra-wideband (UWB) and IrDA. Each of these is optimized for particular applications or domains. ZigBee, with its sleepy, battery-powered end devices, is a perfect fit for wireless sensors. Typical ZigBee
ZIGBEE
application domains include: agricultural, building and industrial automation, home control, medical monitoring, security and, lest we take ourselves too seriously, toys, toys and more toys. 2.2.2 WLAN Wireless local area networks (WLANs) are meant to span a relatively small area, e.g., a house, a building, or a college campus. WLANs are becoming more prevalent as costs come down and standards improve. A WLAN can be an extension of a wired local area network (LAN), its access point connected to a LAN technology such as Ethernet. A popular protocol for WLAN is 802.11, also known as Wi-Fi.
2.2.3 WWAN A wireless wide area network (WAN) is meant to span a large area, such as a city, state or country. It makes use of telephone lines and satellite dishes as well as radio waves to transfer data.

Each wireless standard addresses the needs of a different market segment. Choosing the best-fit wireless standard is a crucial step in the successful deployment of any wireless application. The requirements of your application will determine the wireless standard to choose.

ZIGBEE
This section discusses the added security issues introduced by wireless networks. The salient fact that signals are traveling through the air means that the communication is less secure than if they were traveling through wires. Someone seeking access to your network need not overcome the obstacle of tapping into physical wires. Anyone in range of the transmission can potentially listen on the channel. Wireless or not, a network needs a security plan. The first thing to do is to decide what level of security is appropriate for the applications running on your network. For instance, a financial institution, such as a bank or credit union offering online account access would have substantially different security concerns than would a business owner offering free Internet access at a coffee shop. 2.5.1 Security Risks After you have decided the level of security you need for your network, assess the potential security risks that exist. Who is in range of the wireless transmissions? Can unauthorized users join the network? What would an unauthorized user be able to do if they did join? Is sensitive data traveling over the wireless channel? Network security is analogous to home security: You do not want your house to be a target so you do things to minimize your risk, whether that be outside lighting, motion sensors, or even just keeping bushes pruned back close to the house so bad guys have fewer hiding places. Deterrence is the goal because nothing is guaranteed to be 100% safe in the real world.

standard that meets the unique needs of sensors and control devices. Sensors and controls don't need high bandwidth but they do need low latency and very low energy consumption for long battery lives and for large device arrays. There are a multitude of proprietary wireless systems manufactured today to solve a multitude of problems that don't require high data rates but do require low cost and very low current drain. These proprietary systems were designed because there were no standards that met their application requirements. These legacy systems are creating significant interoperability problems with each other and with newer technologies. The ZigBee Alliance is not pushing a technology; rather it is providing a standardized base set of solutions for sensor and control systems. Comparision of zigbee with other technologies:

4.ZIGBEE ARCHITECTURE:
4.1Physical layer The physical layer was designed to accommodate the need for a low cost yet allowing for high levels of integration. The use of direct sequence allows the analog circuitry to be very simple and very tolerant towards inexpensive implementations. 4.2MAC layer The media access control (MAC) layer was designed to allow multiple topologies without complexity. The power management operation doesn't require multiple modes of operation. The MAC allows a reduced functionality device (RFD) that needn't have flash nor large amounts of ROM or RAM. The MAC was designed to handle large numbers of devices without requiring them to be "parked". The network layer has been designed to allow the network to spatially grow without requiring high power transmitters. The network layer also can handle large amounts of nodes with relatively low latencies . 4.3.Security Security and data integrity are key benefits of the ZigBee technology. ZigBee leverages the security model of the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC sub layer which specifies four security services: Access controlthe device maintains a list of trusted devices within the network

5. Specifications:
This chapter gives an overview of the ZigBee specification. ZigBee, its specification and promotion, is a product of the ZigBee Alliance. The Alliance is an association of companies working together to ensure the success of this open global standard.
16
ZIGBEE
ZigBee is built on top of the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. ZigBee provides routing and multi-hop functions to the packet-based radio protocol.
5.1 Logical Device Types The ZigBee stack resides on a ZigBee logical device. There are three logical device types: coordinator router end device It is at the network layer that the differences in functionality among the devices are determined. See Table 4-1 for more information. It is expected that in a ZigBee network the coordinator and the routers will be mains-powered and that the end devices can be batterypowered.
In a ZigBee network there is one and only one coordinator per network. The number of routers and/or end devices depends on the application requirements and the conditions of the physical site.
17
ZIGBEE
Within networks that support sleeping end devices, the coordinator or one of the routers must be designated as a Primary Discovery Cache Device. These cache devices provide server services to upload and store discovery information, as well as respond to discovery requests, on behalf of the sleeping end devices.
5.2 ZigBee Stack Layers As shown in Figure 4.1, the stack layers defined by the ZigBee specification are the network and application framework layers. The ZigBee stack is loosely based on the OSI 7-layer model. It implements only the functionality that is required in the intended markets. 5.2.1 Network (NWK) Layer The network layer ensures the proper operation of the underlying MAC layer and provides an interface to the application layer. The network layer supports star, tree and mesh topologies. Among other things, this is the layer where networks are started, joined, left and discovered.

When a coordinator attempts to establish a ZigBee network, it does an energy scan to find the best RF channel for its new network. When a channel has been chosen, the coordinator assigns the logical network identifier, also known as the PAN ID, which will be applied to all devices that join the network. A node can join the network either directly or through association. To join directly, the system designer must somehow add a nodes extended address into the neighbor table of a device. The direct joining device will issue an orphan scan, and the node with the matching extended address (in its neighbor table) will respond, allowing the device to join. To join by association, a node sends out a beacon request on a channel, repeating the beacon request another channels until it finds an acceptable network to join. The network layer provides security for the network, ensuring both authenticity and confidentiality of a transmission. 5.2.2 Application (APL) Layer The APL layer is made up of several sublayers. The components of the APL layer are shown in Figure 4.2. and discussed below. The ovals symbolize the interface, called service access points (SAP), between different sublayer entities.
19
ZIGBEE
5.2.2.1 Application Support Sublayer (APS) The APS sublayer is responsible for: binding tables message forwarding between bound devices group address definition and management address mapping from 64-bit extended addresses to 16-bit NWK addresses fragmentation and reassembly of packets reliable data transport
20
ZIGBEE
The key to interfacing devices at the need/service level is the concept of binding. Binding tables are kept by the coordinator and all routers in the network. The binding table maps a source address and source endpoint to one or more destination addresses and endpoints. The cluster ID for a bound set of devices will be the same. As an example, consider the common control problem of maintaining a certain temperature range
5.2.2.3 ZigBee Device Object (ZDO) The ZDO is responsible for overall device management, specifically it is responsible for: initializing the APS sublayer and the NWK layer defining the operating mode of the device (i.e., coordinator, router, or end device) device discovery and determination of which application services the device provides initiating and/or responding to binding requests security management Device discovery can be initiated by any ZigBee device. In response to a device discovery inquiry end devices send their own IEEE or NWK address (depending on the request). A coordinator or router will send their own IEEE or NWK address plus all of the NWK addresses of the devices associated with it. (A device is associated with a coordinator or router if it is a child node of the coordinator or router.) Device discovery allows for an ad-hoc network. It also allows for a self-healing network. Service discovery is a process of finding out what application services are available on each node. This information is then used in binding tables to associate a device offering a service with a device that needs a that system. 5.3 ZigBee Addressing Before joining a ZigBee network (i.e., a LR-WPAN), a device with an IEEE 802.15.4compliant radio has 64-bit address. This is a globally unique number made up of an
21
ZIGBEE
Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) plus 40 bits assigned by the manufacturer of the radio module. OUIs are obtained from IEEE to ensure global uniqueness. When the device joins a Zigbee network, it receives a 16-bit address called the NWK address. Either of these addresses, the 64-bit extended address or the NWK address, can be used within the PAN to communicate with a device. The coordinator of a ZigBee network always has a NWK address of 0.ZigBee provides a way to address the individual components on the device of a node through the use of endpoint addresses. During the process of service discovery the node makes available its endpoint numbers and the cluster IDs associated with the endpoint numbers. If a cluster ID has more than one attribute, the command is used to pass the attribute identifier. 5.3.1 ZigBee Messaging After a device has joined the ZigBee network, it can send commands to other devices on the same network. There are two ways to address a device within the ZigBee network: direct addressing and indirect addressing. Direct addressing requires the sending device to know three kinds of information regarding the receiving device: 1. Address 2. Endpoint Number 3. Cluster ID Indirect addressing requires that the above three types of information be committed to a binding table. The sending device only needs to know its own address, endpoint number and cluster ID. The binding table entry supplies the destination address(es) based on the information about the source address. The binding table can specify more than one destination address/endpoint for a given source address/endpoint combination. When an indirect transmission occurs, the entire binding table is searched for any entries where the source address/endpoint and cluster ID matches the values of the transmission. Once a matching entry is found, the packet is sent to the destination address/endpoint. This is repeated for each entry where the source endpoint/address and clusterID match the transmission values.
22
ZIGBEE
5.3.2 Broadcast Addressing There are two distinct levels of broadcast addresses used in a ZigBee network. One is a broadcast packet with a MAC layer destination address of 0xFFFF. Any transceiver that is awake will receive the packet. The packet is re-transmitted three times by each device, thus these types of broadcasts should only be used when necessary. The other broadcast address is the use of endpoint number 0xFF to send a message to all of the endpoints on the specified device.
5.3.3 Group Addressing An application can assign multiple devices and specific endpoints on those devices to a single group address. The source node would need to provide the cluster ID, profile ID and source endpoint. 5.4 ZigBee Application Profiles What is a ZigBee profile and why would you want one? Basically a profile is a messagehandling agreement between applications on different devices. A profile describes the logical components and their interfaces. Typically, no code is associated with a profile. The main reason for using a profile is to provide interoperability between different manufacturers. For example, with the use of the Home Lighting profile, a consumer could use a wireless switch from one manufacturer to control the lighting fixture from another manufacturer. There are three types of profiles: public (standard), private and published. Public profiles are managed by the ZigBee Alliance. Private profiles are defined by ZigBee vendors for restricted use. A private profile can become a published profile if the owner of the profile decides to publish it.
23
ZIGBEE
All profiles must have a unique profile identifier. You must contact the ZigBee Alliance if you have created a private profile in order to be allocated a unique profile identifier. A profile uses a common language for data exchange and a defined set of processing actions. An application profile will specify the following: set of devices required in the application area functional description for each device set of clusters to implement the functionality which clusters are required by which devices
All clusters and attributes are given unique identifiers. Interfaces are specified at the cluster level. There are input cluster identifiers and output cluster identifiers. At time of this writing, the following public profiles are available: Commercial building automation Home automation Industrial plant monitoring Wireless sensor applications Smart energy
ZigBee operates in 16 channels of 2.4GHz ISM band and provides a data rate of 250 Kbps. It has been designed for single channel 868 MHz, which provides 20 kbps in Europe. ZigBee device can function either as a node or a coordinator. A node is like a client or slave device that receives commands/data from a coordinator. A node cannot initiate connection with another node. The coordinator device is the master or the slave device that can control up to 255 active nodes. ZigBee devices can form PAN using star, cluster tree or mesh topology. Multi network coordinators can be linked together to form a large network to control up to 65536 devices. Advanced encryption standards
24
ZIGBEE
(AES) will enable highly secure networks and application. Profile will provide highly interoperable products and solutions.
The network coordinator maintains overall network knowledge. It's the most sophisticated of the three types and requires the most memory and computing power. The full function device (FFD) supports all 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). The reduced function device (RFD) carries limited (as specified by the standard) functionality to lower cost and complexity. It's generally found in network-edge devices.
ZigBee protocol is optimized for time critical applications and allows network connections within 30 milliseconds compared to 3seconds for Blue Tooth. ZigBee devices are designed for periodic data of applications of defined rate (example: sensors), intermittent data that is application defined or determined by external stimulus (example: Light switches) and lowlatency data of allocated time slots (example: Mice)

8. Latest News:
RF4CE (Radio Frequency for Consumer Electronics) Consortium agreed to work with the ZigBee Alliance to jointly deliver a standardized specification for radio frequency-based remote controls. ZigBee RF4CE is designed to be deployed in a wide range of remotely-controlled audio/visual consumer electronics products, such as TVs and set-top boxes. It promises many advantages over existing remote control solutions, including richer communication and increased reliability, enhanced features and flexibility, interoperability, and no line-of-sight barrier.

ZIGBEE
Increased product innovation as a result of industry standardization. A common platform is more cost effective than creating a new proprietary solution from scratch every time.
10. Uses:
