Next WSN applications using ZigBee
Xavier Carcelle, Bob Heile, Christian Châtellier, Patrick Pailler · 2008
Among the latest events of the wireless revolution, the fast-growing of ZigBee as a standard for WSN (Wireless Sensors Networks) is certainly one of these. ZigBee and 802.15.4 had been proving in the last years that they can achieve the results that Wi-Fi had achieved for high bit-rate wireless LANs and some large reliable deployments are now in place implementing ad-hoc WSN in critical applications. Therefore this paper will emphasize on the past, present and future features for ZigBee, taking a look on the feedback from previous implementations to finally design the next generations of WSN based on ZigBee.
