The development of health tele monitoring through wireless body area networks (WBANs) is an evolving direction in personalized medicine and home-based mobile health care. In a health tele monitoring system, a WBAN consists of a number of lightweight miniature sensors. The sensors measure physiological parameters such as electrocardiography (ECG), electroencephalogram (EEG), body temperature, an...

This paper details the overall design of a wireless home automation system (WHAS). This is fuelled by the need to provide supporting systems for the elderly and the disabled, especially those who live alone. The automation centre’s on recognition of voice commands and uses low-power RF ZigBee wireless communication modules which are relatively cheap. The home automation system is intended to co...

This paper is focusing on development of ZigBee transceiver at physical layer using IEEE 802.15.4. ZigBee technology was developed for a wireless personal area networks (PAN), aimed at control and military applications with low data rate and low power consumption. ZigBee is a low-cost, low-power, wireless mesh networking standard. First, the low cost allows the technology to be widely deployed ...

ZigBee is a recent wireless networking technology built on IEEE 802.15.4 standard and designed especially for low-data rate and low-duty cycle applications such as home and building automation and sensor networks. One of the primary goals of ZigBee is low power consumption and therefore long-living networks. Despite this goal, current network formation and routing protocols described in the Zig...

Real-time monitoring systems (RTMSs) have drawn considerable attentions in the last decade. Several commercial versions of RTMS for patient monitoring are available which are used by health care professionals. Though they are working satisfactorily on various communication protocols, their range, power consumption, data rate and cost are really bothered. In this study, the authors present an ef...

Zigbee is one of the most exciting wireless sensor network (WSN) technologies for monitoring and control. In our previous research, an integrated Zigbee RFID sensor network was designed as an ‘all-in-one’ system as well as a connectionless inventory tracking solution for Humanitarian Logistics Center (HLC) resource management. Various field trials, which have justified the feasibility and featu...

ZigBee is a specification that enhances the IEEE 802.15.4 standard by adding network and security layers and an application framework for high level communication in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). Since ZigBee is essential in the operation of WSN; it is imperative to verify the correctness of its design. Formal methods can be used efficiently to verify a wide range of systems, including ZigBee...

Intelligent transportation system (ITS) applied in the city traffic is mainly reflected in the microscopic traffic information collection, traffic control and guidance, to improve the efficiency of traffic system. Wireless sensor network has excellent characteristics, and it can provide an effective means for information collection of intelligent transportation system and can monitor the inters...

ZigBee is a new wireless technology based on the 802.15.4 standard which is extensively used in wireless communication. This isdesigned for applications like wirelessmonitoring andcontrol of lights, security alarms, motion sensors, thermostats and smoke detectors.ZigBee technology provides a low data rate, low power, and low costwireless networking on the device-level communication.IEEE 802.15....

Currently, the ZigBee protocol is widely used in smart homes and provides convenience to people. However, home devices often carry a large amount of real physical world information, which may result information leakage problems. In this paper, reveal privacy security issues existing ZigBee-based networks, we design analysis system based on ZigBee-encrypted traffic, called ZPA. ZPA can extract d...
