8. Month Year Copyright 2003 The ZigBee Alliance, Inc. 8 Membership Classes Promoters –founding members of ZigBee, who form the Board of Directors. There are currently 5 promoters + 1 chairperson Participants –members who generally wish to make technical contributions and/or serve on the Technical Group committees. These members have early access to specifications, and they may also chair working group subcommittees. They are in a position to help shape the ZigBee technology for industrial applications and the connected home.

17. ZigBee vs Bluetooth Competitive or Complementary?

18. Month Year Copyright 2003 The ZigBee Alliance, Inc. 18 ZigBee and Bluetooth address different needs Bluetooth is a cable replacement for items like Phones, Laptop Computers, Headsets

19. Month Year Copyright 2003 The ZigBee Alliance, Inc. 19 ZigBee is better for devices Where the battery is ‘rarely’ replaced ZigBee and Bluetooth address different needs

20. Month Year Copyright 2003 The ZigBee Alliance, Inc. 20 Bluetooth is Best... For : Ad-hoc networks between capable devices Handsfree audio Screen graphics, pictures… File transfer... but ZigBee is Better IF : The Network is static Lots of devices Infrequently used Small Data Packets

21. Month Year Copyright 2003 The ZigBee Alliance, Inc. 21 2.4 gig Air interface ZigBee DSSS 11 chips/ symbol 62.5 K symbols/s 4 Bits/ symbol Peak Information Rate ~128 Kbit/second Bluetooth FHSS 1 M Symbol / second Peak Information Rate ~720 Kbit / second

22. Month Year Copyright 2003 The ZigBee Alliance, Inc. 22 Battery Life Bluetooth expects regular charging –Target is to use <10% of host power ZigBee is for use with Primary Cells –Targets are : Tiny fraction of host power New opportunities where wireless not yet used

23. Month Year Copyright 2003 The ZigBee Alliance, Inc. 23 Initial Enumeration Coordinator ZigBee Bluetooth

24. Month Year Copyright 2003 The ZigBee Alliance, Inc. 24 Error Correction / Security Bluetooth offers some Forward Error Correction 0, 40, 64 & 128 bit encryption ZigBee handshakes detect errors and initiate retransmission. Application Level Security

26. Month Year Copyright 2003 The ZigBee Alliance, Inc. 26 An Application Example Wireless Light switch - Easy for Builders to install Bluetooth would either : – keep a counter running so that it could predict which hop frequency the light would have reached or –use the inquiry procedure to find the light each time the switch was operated. Battery Life & Latency in a Light Switch

27. Month Year Copyright 2003 The ZigBee Alliance, Inc. 27 Battery Power Consumption Efficiency The two devices must stay within 60 us (~1/10 of a hop) 30ppm crystals => could increase at 60us per second. Devices communicate once a second to track each other's clocks. Possibly could be improved by a factor of 100. The devices would then need to communicate once every 100 seconds to maintain synchronization. => 900 communications / day with no information transfer + perhaps 4 communications on demand 99.5% Battery Power wasted

28. Month Year Copyright 2003 The ZigBee Alliance, Inc. 28 Latency Undertake Bluetooth inquiry procedure when light switch operated May typically take 10-30 seconds using Bluetooth 1.1 ? Even if optimized (Bluetooth 1.2), latency is a few seconds

29. Month Year Copyright 2003 The ZigBee Alliance, Inc. 29 Light switch Conclusion ZigBee radio using DSSS need only perform CSMA before transmitting, a delay of only 200 s In the case of a light switch, ZigBee offers longer battery life and lower latency than a Bluetooth equivalent.

30. Month Year Copyright 2003 The ZigBee Alliance, Inc. 30 Conclusion ZigBee targets applications not addressable by Bluetooth or any other wireless standard ZigBee and Bluetooth complement for a broader solution
