Abstract
This paper studies the adoption of the ZigBee technology to replace broadcast-based wired communications in automation systems for Health Smart Homes. An analytical study is presented as well as the experimental results validating the derived expressions. Results show that the timeliness of ZigBee broadcast communications, in interference-free environments, can cope with the requirements of home automation applications and those found in building automation.
