ZigBee is a short-range wireless networking standard backed by such industry leaders as Motorola, Texas Instruments, Philips, Samsung, Siemens, Freescale, etc. It supports mesh networking, each node can transmit and receive data, offers high security and robustness, and is being rapidly adopted in industrial, control/monitoring, and medical applications. This book will explain the ZigBee protocol, discuss the design of ZigBee hardware, and describe how to design and implement ZigBee networks. The book has a dedicated website for the latest technical updates, ZigBee networking calculators, and additional materials. Dr. Farahani is a ZigBee system engineer for Freescale semiconductors Inc.

ZigBee Wireless Networks and Transceivers
Chapter One
ZigBee Basics
This chapter is an introduction to the ZigBee standard for short-range wireless networking. The goal of this chapter is to provide a brief overview of ZigBee's fundamental properties, including its networking topologies, channel access mechanism, and the role of each protocol layer. The topics discussed in this chapter are covered in more detail in the reminder of this book.
1.1 What Is ZigBee?
ZigBee is a standard that defines a set of communication protocols for low-data-rate short-range wireless networking. ZigBee-based wireless devices operate in 868 MHz, 915 MHz, and 2.4 GHz frequency bands. The maximum data rate is 250K bits per second. ZigBee is targeted mainly for battery-powered applications where low data rate, low cost, and long battery life are main requirements. In many ZigBee applications, the total time the wireless device is engaged in any type of activity is very limited; the device spends most of its time in a power-saving mode, also known as sleep mode. As a result, ZigBee-enabled devices are capable of being operational for several years before their batteries need to be replaced.
One application of ZigBee is in-home patient monitoring. A patient's blood pressure and heart rate, for example, can be measured by wearable devices. The patient wears a ZigBee device that interfaces with a sensor that gathers health-related information such as blood pressure on a periodic basis. Then the data is wirelessly transmitted to a local server, such as a personal computer inside the patient's home, where initial analysis is performed. Final
