In the rapidly growing Internet of Things (loT) applications from personal electronics to industrial machines and sensors are getting wirelessly connected to the Internet. Many well-known communication technologies such as WiFi, ZigBee, Bluetooth and cellular are used for transfer data in IoT. The choice of corresponding technology or combination of technologies depends on application or other factors such as data requirements, communication range, security and power demands, battery life. In this paper we will focus on ZigBee wireless technology and testing ZigBee end devices in order to see how transmission range impacts on quality parameters.

The wireless technology is one of the core compo-nents of mobile applications with mobility support at low deploy-ment costs. Among these, Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) is one of the technologies that supports mobile users for un-disrupted, reliable data connectivity, provides high bandwidth even in areas, where access of such services is difficult. Additionally, it features capabilities like self-configuring, self-healing, and self-organizing. IEEE proposed a MAC standard for WMN enhancements named IEEE 802.11s for multi-hop networks. Within this standard, the mandatory routing protocol called Hybrid Wireless Mesh Protocol (HWMP) is proposed for efficient utilization of resources to achieve high bandwidth at MAC layer. To improve this protocol, a congestion avoiding protocol was proposed, which utilizes alternate paths just before the congestion state is reached. The proposed technique does not add any overhead, it utilizes congestion notification frame, which is already part of standard. This paper discusses simulation results of the proposed routing protocol against the existing HWMP protocol for packet delivery fraction, throughput and delay. The results indicate that the proposed technique significantly improves performance of IEEE 802.11s.

Wireless communication is becoming a part of our life at every step. But widespread use in medical applications is yet to come. We are developing a wireless communication system based on 802.15.6 MAC and 802.15.4 PHY for use in transmitting ECG data from a remote patient monitoring device which is used for home based telemedicine applications. The paper concentrates on explaining the stack program development phases of the standard IEEE 802.15.6 and its flexible access features. It is believed that the subjected standard is going to provide a medical data highway in its reserved bands.

Sensors and other control devices with embedded processing capabilities require low power communication protocols with data rate in excess of what is achievable through Bluetooth and IR protocols. In this context, two main networking protocols, viz., ZigBee and 6LoWPAN have assumed significance. Both protocols use IEEE 802.15.4 standard for the physical layer. The network layer of 6LoWPAN is based on IPv6. It essentially defines a protocol that provides IP integration with power constrained wireless sensor networks. Therefore, machine to machine communication over the Internet became a reality. In contrast, the main features of ZigBee protocol are to support low duty cycle, low latency, secure point to multipoint data communication. The original ZigBee standards have been enhanced to ZigBee IP in 2013. Similarly, proposals like COAP and RPL have enhanced 6LoWPAN for better energy management. This chapter of the book gives a comprehensive coverage of these protocols.

IPv6 over the TSCH mode of IEEE 802.15.4e (6TiSCH) is the wireless sensor network protocol standard proposed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) for Internet of Things (IoT). Aside from 6TiSCH, there are other existing protocol standards for wireless sensor networks which are suitable to be deployed in industrial applications. However, there are no comprehensive performance evaluations done on 6TiSCH to date. This paper aims to focus on the formation of networks involving 6TiSCH, and evaluate its performance in terms of end-to-end latency, network throughput, and packet loss through simulative analysis. Open-source software from OpenWSN project developed by UC Berkeley and Wireshark network protocol analyzer were used for the experiment. A network of five motes were simulated using Openvisualizer where each simulation run had different number of channels enabled with a preconfigured Packet Delivery Ratio value for each. The contribution of this project will help in providing insight on the performance of 6TiSCH for further development and optimization of the protocol.

Wireless sensor networks represent a key technology enabler for enhanced health care and assisted living systems. Recent standardization efforts to ensure compatibility among sensor network systems have produced the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, which specifies the MAC and physical layer behaviour. Energy and network life time are two critical factors for WSN performance. IEEE 802.15.4 is a standard used for low data rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs). Medium Access Control layer (MAC) of IEEE 802.15.4 plays an important role in the performance of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). The unique feature of this MAC layer is the superframe structure, which allows devices to access channels in a Contention Access Period (CAP) or Collision Free Period (CFP) and use beacon based synchronization mechanism. In this paper, we propose a cross-layer framework to prolong the network lifetime, to improve the energy and to lower the latency of WSNs based on the IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee standards. To cover all the scenarios, we have considered hierarchical topology and peer to peer beacon enabled network. The performance metrics are evaluated using simulation results.

SUMMARY ZigBee is a wireless network technology suitable for applications requiring lower bandwidth, low energy consumption and small packet size. Security has been one of the challenges in ZigBee networks. Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) provides a binding of entities with public keys through a Certifying Authority (CA). Public key cryptography using public–private key pairs can be used for ensuring secure transmission in a network. But large size of public and private keys and memory limitations in ZigBee devices pose a problem for using PKI to secure communication in ZigBee networks. In this paper, we propose a PKI enabled secure communication schema for ZigBee networks. Limited memory and power constraints of end devices restrict them from storing public keys of all other devices in the network. Large keys cannot be communicated due to limited power of the nodes and small transmission packet size. The proposed schema addresses these limitations. We propose two algorithms for sending and receiving the messages. The protocols for intercommunication between the network entities are also presented. Minor changes have been introduced in the capabilities of devices used in the ZigBee networks to suit our proposed scheme. Network adaptations depending on different scenarios are discussed. The approach adopted in this paper is to alter the communication flow so as to necessitate minimum memory and computational requirements at the resource starved end points. In the proposed PKI implementation, end devices store the public keys of only the coordinator which in turn holds public keys of all devices in the network. All communication in our scheme is through the coordinator, which in the event of failure is re-elected through an election mechanism. The performance of the proposed scheme was evaluated using a protocol analyzer in home automation and messenger applications. Results indicate that depending on the type of application, only a marginal increase in latency of 2 to 5 ms is introduced for the added security. Layer wise traffic and packets captured between devices were analyzed. Channel utilization, message length distribution and message types were also evaluated. The proposed protocol's performance was found to be satisfactory on the two tested applications. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Wi-Fi networks have enjoyed an unprecedent penetration rate in recent years. However, due to the limited coverage, existing Wi-Fi infrastructure only provides intermittent connectivity for mobile users. Once leaving the current network coverage, Wi-Fi clients must actively discover new Wi-Fi access points (APs), which wastes the precious energy of mobile devices. Although several solutions have been proposed to address this issue, they either require significant modifications to existing network infrastructures or rely on context information that is not available in unknown environments. In this work, we develop a system called ZiFithat utilizes ZigBee radios to identify the existence of Wi-Fi networks through unique interference signatures generated by Wi-Fi beacons. We develop a new digital signal processing algorithm called common multiple folding (CMF) that accurately amplifies periodic beacons in Wi-Fi interference signals. ZiFi also adopts a constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detector that can minimize the false negative (FN) rate of Wi-Fi beacon detection while satisfying the user-specified upper bound on false positive (FP) rate. We have implemented ZiFi on two platforms, a Linux netbook integrating a TelosB mote through the USB interface, and a Nokia N73 smartphone integrating a ZigBee card through the miniSD interface. Our experiments show that, under typical settings, ZiFi can detect Wi-Fi APs with high accuracy (

Using of wireless sensor networks in extreme and inaccessible environments usually has energy issues of some kind. The IEEE 802.15.4 is designed in general to fulfill this requirement of low data rate ad hoc networks, i.e., a low complex system with ultralow-power consumption. Similar to all IEEE standards, however, IEEE 802.15.4 comes with many flexible variables for optimized local solution such that its beacon-enabled duty cycle mode power management mechanism. Here, we propose a novel adaptive duty cycle algorithm making maximum use of network traffic for automatically adjusting the duty cycle for minimum energy. The system simulation results show superiority of the proposed algorithm for reducing the energy consumption and increasing the throughput for comparative techniques in the literature.

Overview of the entire communication system, a Smart Multiple-Tap I. 서 론 최근 이동전화와 PC, 인터넷이 결합된 스마트폰의 보급으로 삶의 방식이 획기적으로 변화하고 있다. 기 존에 컴퓨터에서만 접속할 수 있었던 인터넷이 장소 에 상관없이 누구나 스마트폰으로 접속할 수 있게 되 었다. 이에 따라 컴퓨터나 스마트폰이 아닌 다른 사물 도 인터넷으로 접속하여 제어할 수 있는 것에 관심이 높아지면서 생활에 밀접한 기기들이 상호간, 혹은 모 바일과 통신을 하면서 새로운 서비스 또는 유용한 가 치를 제공하는 사물인터넷(IoT; Internet of Things)의 시대가 확산되고 있다. [1] 조사기관인 가트너(2010)에 따르면 2020년 인터넷에 접속되는 기기는 2010년 대 비 약 50배가 증가하여 1000억대에 이를 것으로 전망 되고 있다. 사물인터넷은 발전하여 이른바 미래인터넷 으로 성장될 것이며, 국가의 성장 동력원으로써 중요 한 가치를 지니게 될 것이다. [2] 이러한 사물인터넷 시대를 대비하여 다양한 IT기술 들이 연구되고 있는데 대표적인 예가 스마트 홈에 관 한 연구이다. 스마트 홈은 국내 기업인 삼성과 LG가 전략적으로 육성하고 있는 차세대 성장 동력원으로써 스마트 폰과 가전제품들과의 네트워크 통신을 이용해 스마트한 생활을 가능하게 한다. 한 조사에 따르면 스 마트홈 분야에서 가전기기의 원격제어부분에 85%이 상의 사람들이 미래의 홈 네트워크 필요성에 대해서 긍정적인 입장인 것으로 조사되었다. [3] 하지만 기존의 홈 오토메이션 시스템은 일반 가정에서 접할 수 없고, 만약 있다 하더라도 기존의 설치된 시스템을 자신에 맞게 추가하거나 제거하기 어려운 점이 있다. 또한, 값비싼 비용도 문제가 되고 있다.

ZigBee is the emerging industrial standard for Ad-hoc wireless networks based on IEEE 802.15.4, having characteristics such as low data rate, low price, and low power consumption. It is widely used in wireless sensor networks for remote monitoring, Home-appliance networks, and industrial automation. It supports tree and mesh routing. A major concern in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is energy conservation, since battery-powered sensor nodes are expected to operate for a long time (for months or even years). AODV, an on-demand routing protocol is used for ZigBee mesh networks. The high number of control packets, makes AODV unsuitable for certain applications that requires energy efficient communications. A new routing strategy (sEAODV) is proposed here: combination of i) simplified AODV (sAODV): will try to reduce control overhead and hence energy consumption and ii) Energy Aware Mesh Routing (EAODV): to prevent early death of nodes having low energy (less than 10% of its initial energy level) will not forward RREQ messages hence, they will not be a part of communication. The algorithm performance is simulated using NS-2 simulator. Our proposed scheme shows overall performance improvement compared to original AODV in terms of Energy Consumption, Routing Overhead and Number of packet drops. At the end one idea is proposed to indicate emergency/urgent data (fire alarm or sensory data of a patient in ICU) by a flag bit, which forces even the low energy node to deliver the data to the destination node.

The explosion in the number of 802.11 and 802.15.4 deployments is exacerbating the coexistence problem, which has been reported in the literature to cause significant performance degradation in co-located networks employing the two different wireless standards. The wireless coexistence problem has, thus far, been studied primarily using hardware, due to the lack of analytical results and good wireless coexistence simulators. This paper presents the first analytical model for coexisting 802.11 and 802.15.4 networks. We derive analytically, using Markov chains, the normalized saturation throughput under coexistence. Additionally, we propose a performance tuning method that ensures QoS and a distributed Nash-equilibrium-based method that ensures fairness. We validate our model and the tuning methods using a coexistence simulator previously developed and presented by the authors. We demonstrate that our model has a low average error smaller than 10%.

Wireless mesh network (WMN) is an up-to-date network emerging with the development of wireless communication technology. Nowadays, it has become more and more popular. Along with this development, its performance has been research focus. However, the problem is that there are less than a handful of tools available to provide IEEE 802.11s mesh nodes or mesh models, which hampers its progressive research. In this paper, we propose a generic model for modeling and simulating IEEE 802.11s in OPNET. A prototype is implemented. According to the analysis of the simulation results, the proposed simulation platform satisfies the workflow of IEEE 802.11s and implements basic functions of IEEE 802.11s, and hence is shown to be an effective tool to develop IEEE 802.11s.

Although the system can meet the requirements of Zigbee wireless communication hardware, but part of system hardware is relatively simple. If it is applied to the more complex place, we must add the corresponding module in the hardware and software. Adding node function module and the monitoring function in the Zigbee wireless network, it will meet the actual needs.

The major design challenge of home automation is to choose best standard for controlling devices in existing home environments without any changes in infrastructure. In previous years Zigbee was the promising technology for home automation. But now a day‘s Enocean is the new standard which competes with Zigbee. The temperature of the house is hard and complex to understand since a lot of factors has to be considered. Furthermore, the quality of the house including temperature control not only affects the house performance it also affects the human comfort in their house. In this paper temperature of the house is controlled by using Zigbee and Enocean because of their some features like low cost, low power usage and mesh networking. The work presented here is to show how we can implement Zigbee and Enocean model by using Matlab/Simulink. Some parameters of these technologies are also compared such as: delay, energy per packet and received signal strength indicator (RSSI).

The knowledge of error nature in wireless channels is an essential constituent of efficient communication protocol design. To this end, this paper is the first comprehensive bit- and symbol-level analysis of IEEE 802.15.4 transmission errors in industrial environments. The intention with this paper is to extract the error properties relevant for future improvements of wireless communication reliability and coexistence of radio systems in these harsh conditions. An extensive set of bit-error traces was collected in a variety of scenarios and industrial environments, showing that error behavior is highly dependent on the cause of packet corruption. It is shown that errors inflicted by multipath fading and attenuation exhibit different properties than those imposed by IEEE 802.11 interference. The statistical behavior of these two patterns is concurrently investigated in terms of differences in bit-error distribution, error burst length, channel memory length, and the scale of packet corruption. With these conclusions at hand, abiding to the computational constraints of embedded sensors and the statistical properties of bit-errors, a Reed-Solomon $(15,k)$ block code is chosen to investigate the implications of bit-error nature on practical aspects of channel coding and interleaving. This paper is concluded by a number of findings of high practical relevance, concerning the optimal type, depth, and meaningfulness of interleaving.

Redundancy technology is an important measure to enhance the reliability of computer control system. Two types of node redundancy architectures of wireless sensor network are analyzed. The design and implementing method of node redundancy in Zigbee network is presented. The node, which acts as master, is determined through competition after the system is powered up. The logical structure of the system is presented too. The switch protocol between master computer and backup computer and the method of competing for master among all the nodes are described in detail. The system can achieve that backup computer switches to master computer without disturbance. Because Zigbee network is adopted to achieve switching between Master and Backup, the reliability of the whole system is enhanced. The novel redundancy system is of low-cost, openness and good maintainability.

This paper relates to the study about the street security light management system. The purpose of the wireless remote management system is to manage street security lights efficiently. The system is composed of three components like light controller, CDMA gateway and web based remote management server. The zig-bee solution is adopted to make local wireless network between street security lights. The CDMA network is used for the wireless communication between street security light controller and the remote control center. The gateway to interconnect zigbee network and CDMA was designed with low power 32 bits Cortex M3 mi-cro-controller. For the data communication between the management server and the gateway, SMS and socket based TCP streaming is used. The management server sends SMS to the gateway to deliver light control and management requests, and the gateway replies with the light controllers report via TCP streaming. By using both SMS and TCP streaming communication, it was verified that simple cost effective management is possible for street security lights. We tried real test for 95 street security lights in real environment during two months and ana-lyzed the practical possibility for mass supply.
