• Large networks (large number of devices and large coverage area) that can form autonomously and that will operate very reliably for years without any operator intervention
• Very long battery life (years off of a AA cell), very low infrastructure cost (low device & setup costs) and very low complexity and small size
• Device data rate and QoS needs are low
• Standardized protocols are necessary to allow multiple vendors to interoperate

ZigBee Device Types
• ZigBee Coordinator (ZC)– One and only one required for each ZB network.– Initiates network formation.– Acts as 802.15.4 2003 PAN coordinator (FFD).– May act as router once network is formed.
• ZigBee Router (ZR)– Optional network component.– May associate with ZC or with previously associated ZR.– Acts as 802.15.4 2003 coordinator (FFD).– Participates in multihop routing of messages.
• ZigBee End Device (ZED)– Optional network component.– Shall not allow association.– Shall not participate in routing.

ZigBee Channel Access Options
Two channel access mechanisms:• Non-beacon network
– A simple, traditional multiple access system used in simple peer and near-peer networks
– Standard ALOHA CSMA-CA communications– Positive acknowledgement for successfully received packets
• Beacon-enabled network– Superframe structure- network coordinator transmits beacons
at predetermined intervals– Dedicated bandwidth and low latency– Low Power Consumption mode for Coordinator

Other Benefits of Beacon Mode
• Beacon Mode– A very powerful mechanism for controlling power
consumption in extended networks like cluster tree or mesh
– Allows all clients in a local piece of the network the ability to know when to communicate with each other
– PAN has a coordinator that manages the channel and arranges the calls
– Significant value will be in system power consumption for networks which are primarily battery powered
