Abstract
ZigBee is one of wireless communication standards and many applications based on Zigbee have been developing for commercial applications. Most of those applications require links to Internet like Zigbee service gateways. However, ZigBee service gateway should provides following functions to be effectively utilized itself: translation of messages between diverse ZigBee application profiles and message formats used in Internet, addition/removal of a new ZigBee service without stopping existing services according to addition/removal of a Zigbee node, and no transmission of unwanted packets to ZigBee network. Therefore, this paper proposes a new type of ZigBee Service Gateway, called ZiGate to provide the functions. The proposed ZiGate is capable of re-configurating message translation modules required in case of addition/removal of nodes and doesn't transmit unnecessary packets to the ZigBee networks by synchronizing itself with ZigBee network. And ZiGate provides translation modules between messages defined in Zigbee application profiles and both text-based and binary-based messages used in Internet. In this paper we implements the ZiGate and evaluates it on the test bed. This evaluations show that the proposed ZiGate works efficiently.
