Wireless PANs IEEE 802.15
WPANs: design challanges
§ Battery powered: Maximize battery life.
• A few hours to a few years on a coin cell.
§ Dynamic topologies: Short duration connections and then device
is turned off or goes to sleep
§ No infrastructure
§ Avoid Interference due to larger powered LAN devices
§ Simple and Extreme Interoperability: Billions of devices.
• More variety than LAN or MAN
§ Low-cost: A few dollars
Personal area networks: Bluetooth
§ less than 10 m diameter

§ master controller / clients devices: M master device

Smart Bluetooth
ZigBee Radios/ IEEE 802.15.4
o Low-rate low-power low-cost secure radio
o Complementary to WiFi and Bluetooth
o Frequency bands: 784, 868, 915 MHz, 2.4 GHz

§Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)


• Chipping Sequences
• 2.4 GHz
• 32-chip PN codes
• Chip modulation is MSK at 2.0 Mchips/s
• 868/915 MHz
• 15-chip m-sequence
• Chip modulation is BPSK at 0.3 Mchips/s

WPANs: IEEE 802.15.4
§ Used by several “Internet of Things” protocols:
• ZigBee, 6LowPAN, Wireless HART, MiWi, and ISA 100.11a
WPANs: IEEE 802.15.4 Overview
§ Low Rate Wireless Personal Area Network (LR-WPAN)
§ 2.4 GHz (most common). 16 5-MHz channels
§ 250 kbps PHY 50 kbps application data rate
§ Peak current depends upon symbol rate multilevel 4b/symbol)
§ Similar to 802.11: Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum, CSMA/CA,
Backoff, Beacon, Coordinator (similar to Access point)
§ Lower rate, short distance Lower power Low energy
§ Each node has a 64-bit Extended Unique ID (EUI-64)
No segmentation/reassembly. Max MAC frame size is 127 bytes
IEEE 802.15.4 Topologies
§ Star and peer-to-peer
§ Two types of devices:
• Full Function device (FFD), Reduced Function device (RFD)
Cluster Tree Network
§ A coordinator can ask another FFD to become a coordinator for a
subset of nodes. Tree
