The Networking Technology within Smart Home System - ZigBee Technology

The establishment for internal communication network of Smart Home system includes a variety of ways such as wired, wireless and etc. Wireless network represents the development trend in home internal communication network. Among a series of network technology, because of low data rate, low power consumption, low cost, wider coverage, ZigBee technology is intended to be suitable standard for a low-rate wireless home control system. Therefore, this article focus on the technology of ZigBee which is widely used in smart home system. Additionally, its characteristics, protocol framework, and its specific content are also discussed in this paper in order to provide the theoretical basis of smart house system.
