ZigBeeZigBee-Introduction
ZigBee based on IEEE 802.15.4 standard Specifically for control and sensor networks For a low data rate WPAN Also provides low power consumption Low complexity Data rate limited to 250 kbps in global 2.4 GHz ISM band 20 kbps in 868 MHz band used in Europe 40 kbps in 915 MHz band used in North America and Australia Remote monitoring and control for sensory network applications Created by an organization known as ZigBee Alliance

ZigBeeZigBee-How it works?

Uses digital radios A typical ZigBee network consists of several types of devices A network coordinator is a device that sets up the network ManagesManages-information about each node-information transmitted or nodereceived
Router (FFD)

Devices that interact with physical world (FFD) Network coordinator (FFD)

Other Full Function Devices (FFD's) may be found in the network(coordinators ,routers ,other devices) Several topologies are supported by ZigBee, including star, mesh, and cluster tree

ZigBeeZigBee-How it Operates?
Zeegbee operates in two major modes
Beacon mode

NonNon-beacon mode

Fully coordinated mode All devices know when to coordinate with one another Network coordinator will periodically "wake"wakeup to send out a beacon Beacon subsequently wakes up each device The device returns to sleep, as will the network coordinator, once its job is complete

Less coordinated mode Any device can communicate with the coordinator at will This operation can cause different devices within the network to interfere Coordinator must always be awake to listen for signals ZigBee obtains its overall low power consumption

ZigBeeZigBee-What does it do?

Designed for wireless controls and sensors Could be built into anything around your home or office Devices can interact without wires and you can control them all It goes well beyond single-purpose singlewireless devices Such as garage door openers and "The Clapper" that turns light on and off It allows wireless two-way twocommunications It travels across greater distances and handles many sensors that can be linked to perform different tasks

Bluetooth Introduction

Bluetooth can streamline the process A Bluetooth connection is wireless and automatic, and it has a number of interesting features that can simplify our daily lives When any two devices need to talk to each other, they have to agree on a number of points

The first point of agreement is physical How much data will be sent at a time? How will they speak to each other? This means developing a set of commands and responses known as a protocol Bluetooth offers a solution to the problem

BluetoothBluetooth-How it creates connection?

Removing the need for user intervention and keeping transmission power extremely low to save battery power Bluetooth is essentially a networking standard that works at two levels: It provides agreement at the physical level -- Bluetooth is a radioradio-frequency standard It provides agreement at the protocol level Products have to agree on when bits are sent? How many will be sent at a time? How the parties in a conversation can be sure that the message received is the same as the message sent?

BluetoothBluetooth-Piconets

Bluetooth can be either half-duplex or full-duplex halffullBluetooth can send data at more than 64 kilobits per second (Kbps) in a full-duplex link fullIf a particular use calls for a half-duplex link -- Bluetooth can halftransmit up to 721 Kbps in one direction, with 57.6 Kbps in the 57. other. other. If the use calls for the same speed in both directions, Bluetooth can establish a link with 432.6-Kbps capacity in each 432. direction

BluetoothBluetooth-Advantages

It is wireless, inexpensive and automatic Infrared communications are fairly reliable and don't cost very much to build into a device

BluetoothBluetooth-Advantages

You can make sure a message goes only to the intended recipient The older Bluetooth 1.0 standard has a maximum transfer speed of 1 megabit per second (Mbps) Bluetooth 2.0 can manage up to 3 Mbps Bluetooth 2.0 is backward-compatible with 1.0 devices backward-

BluetoothBluetooth-How it operates?

Transmits data via low-power radio waves lowFrequency of 2.45 gigahertz (ISM Band) GarageGarage-door openers an dthe newest generation of cordless phones all make use of frequencies in the ISM band Avoid interfering by sending out very weak signals of about 1 mill watt By comparison, the most powerful cell phones can transmit a signal of 3 watts The low power limits the range of a Bluetooth device to about 10 meters (32 feet) Even with the low power, Bluetooth doesn't require line of sight between communicating devices Bluetooth can connect up to eight devices simultaneously

BluetoothBluetooth-How it operates?

Bluetooth uses a technique called spread-spectrum frequency spreadhopping (FHSS) A device will use 79 individual, randomly chosen frequencies within a designated range, changing from one to another on a regular basis Transmitters change frequencies 1,600 times every second Meaning that more devices can make full use of a limited slice of the radio spectrum It s unlikely that two transmitters will be on the same frequency at the same time It also minimizes the risk that portable phones will disrupt Bluetooth devices, since any interference on a particular frequency will last only a tiny fraction of a second

BluetoothBluetooth-How it operates?

When Bluetooth capable devices come within range of one another An electronic conversation takes place to determine data sharing or controlling The user doesn't have to press a button or give a command -- the electronic conversation happens automatically Once the conversation has occurred, the devices -- whether they're part of a computer system or a stereo -- form a network Bluetooth systems create a personal-area network (PAN), or personalpiconet Once a piconet is established, the members randomly hop frequencies in unison so they stay in touch with one another

BluetoothBluetooth-Security

The automatic nature-a huge benefit in natureterms of time and effort, is also a benefit to hackers Bluetooth users can establish "trusted devices -without asking permission ServiceService-level security and device-level devicesecurity work together Security methods include authorization and identification procedures A user can also simply switch his Bluetooth mode to "non-discoverable "nonCellCell-phone virus writers have taken advantage of Bluetooth's automated connection process Bluebugging Bluejacking Car Whisperer

ZIGBEE
ZigBee is focused on control and automation Low power consumption Works with small packet devices Designed to respond quickly Goal to put couple of batteries in the devices and forget about them for months to years

BLUETOOTH
Focused on connectivity between laptops, PDA s High power consumption Works with large packet devices Takes much longer detrimental to the application Frequent battery recharging
