“…Shuaib et al [11] focused on quantifying potential interferences between Zigbee and IEEE 802.11g by examining the impact on the throughput performance of IEEE 802.11g and Zigbee devices when coexisting within a particular environment. Moreover, Neelakanta and Dighe [12] presented a performance evaluation of Bluetooth and ZigBee collocated on an industrial floor for robust factory wireless communications.…”

Abstract-Bluetooth (over IEEE 802.15.1), ultra-wideband (UWB, over IEEE 802.15.3), ZigBee (over IEEE 802.15.4), and Wi-Fi (over IEEE 802.11) are four protocol standards for shortrange wireless communications with low power consumption. From an application point of view, Bluetooth is intended for a cordless mouse, keyboard, and hands-free headset, UWB is oriented to high-bandwidth multimedia links, ZigBee is designed for reliable wirelessly networked monitoring and control networks, while Wi-Fi is directed at computer-to-computer connections as an extension or substitution of cabled networks. In this paper, we provide a study of these popular wireless communication standards, evaluating their main features and behaviors in terms of various metrics, including the transmission time, data coding efficiency, complexity, and power consumption. It is believed that the comparison presented in this paper would benefit application engineers in selecting an appropriate protocol.

“…It reduces the request of Communication Controller by simplifying agreement (less than one tenth of Bluetooth) [5], according to prediction analysis, the full-function main node needs the 32 KB code, the sub function node at least the 4 KB code and the ZigBee does not need an agreement patent fee with 8-bit 8051 micro-controller estimation.…”

After introducing the wireless network communication technology ZigBee and the features, advantages and application rule of the wireless single chip microcomputer cc2430 which is a true system-on-chip (SOC) loading ZigBee technology, the article introduced the design method of mine alarm system based on ZigBee technology. The composition of the mine alarm system and the design features of hardware and software were expounded mainly.

Recently, the IEEE 802.11e standard was published as an amendment to the original IEEE 802.11 standard. This amendment is intended to provide differentiated levels of QoS to the supported applications. The 802.11e amendment incorporates an additional coordination function called Hybrid Coordination Function (HCF) that uses both a contention-based channel access method, called the Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) and a controlled channel access, referred to as the HCF Controlled Channel Access (HCCA). Under the EDCA mechanism, it is a common assumption to consider the highest access category (voice) adequate to support real-time communication.In this paper, we analyze the timing behavior of the EDCA function, when it is used to support real-time traffic. Basically, we assess the behavior of the voice category in open communication environments (i.e., a communication environment subject to external disturbances) when this access category is used to transfer small sized packets, generated in periodic intervals.We show that the transmission opportunity (TXOP) mechanism included in the IEEE 802.11e amendment improves the system throughput, for the case of message streams with small packet sizes. However, the impact of external disturbances upon the transfer of real-time messages is highly relevant. For instance, the average access delay for the real-time messages is more than one order of magnitude larger when the external disturbance increases the network load from just 10% to 30%. Furthermore, both the number of packet losses and the average size of the MAC queues forecast an unacceptable number of deadline losses for the real-time message streams, even for intermediate load cases.
