Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is one of the most promising home network middleware technologies because of its straightforward implementation and zero configuration characteristics. However, it has a limitation of the operations only IP based network and proceeding in a single IP subnet. In this paper, we proposed network bridge architecture for UPnP network to interoperate heterogeneous network, UPnP and ZigBee. The proposed network bridge architecture is capable of configuration ZigBee device as a virtual UPnP device. This technique is promising for seamless inter-networking with ZigBee and UPnP network. Also, the architecture of the proposed network bridge architecture can be applied for a future smart home.

The ZigBee is one of the most important technologies for composing USN. It is one of the IEEE 802.15.4 standards to support personal area networks. It uses a hierarchical routing or an on-demand route discovery strategy as an address allocation method. A hierarchical routing doesn't use a routing table but only uses a child node or a parent node as an intermediate node for data delivery. Therefore, the ZigBee network's topology greatly affects the overall network performance. In this paper, we propose a more trustworthy algorithm than only using the depth and widely variable LQI during network formation, and moreover we propose an algorithm to measure network's trustworthiness. We simulate our algorithm using the NS-2 and implement our network using the MG2400 ZigBee module for verifying performance.

무선 기술이 가지는 장점인 설치의 편리성, 기동성으로 인하여, ZigBee를 이용한 홈 네트워크 서비스 활용성에 대한 기술개발이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이러한 유비쿼터스 홈 서비스의 활용성에도 불구하고 ZigBee 기반 홈 기기나 센서 정보의 도청, 비정상적인 패킷의 유통, 메시지 재사용등의 데이터 위/변조 문제와 네트워크 전체를 마비시킬 수 있는 서비스 거부 공격등에 쉽게 노출되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 이에 대한 효과적인 대응과 관리 처리를 위하여, 유비쿼터스 홈 네트워크에서의 ZigBee 기술을 사용할 시에 발생할 수 있는 보안 문제점을 해결하기 위한 ZigBee 기반 End-to-End 보안 기술을 개발하였다. 본 기술 개발의 특징은 ZigBee Device, 코디네이터/게이트웨이 영역은 ZigBee 표준 스펙을 구현하였으며, 응용어플리케이션/서버 영역은 표준 스펙이 정의 되어 있지 않으나, 이 부분을 유비쿼터스 홈 네트워크 서비스 관점에서 설계 및 구현하였다. ZigBee 디바이스가 가지는 하드웨어 자원의 빈약성을 고려하여 최대한 보안 기능을 리소스가 풍부한 응용어플리케이션/서버의 자원 활용에 촛점을 맞췄다.

Recently, we are using wireless system based on ZigBee technology. It solves a complicated space and frequency movement. Then, we had studied it for improved performance. So, we are must concerned about routing protocol for improvement of a weak point of physical feature. But many researchers are not focusiong on developing Routing Protocol. In this paper, we proposed improved routing protocol using AODV for wireless system based on ZigBee technology. And it is analyzed the simulation result which compare with original and improved AODV protocol based on ZigBee network.

Since security plays an important role in several ZigBee applications, such as Smart Energy and medical sensor applications, ZigBee Specification includes various security mechanisms to protect ZigBee frames and infrastructure. Among them, the Join and Leave operations of ZigBee are investigated in this paper. The current Join-Leave operation is protected by the network key (a kind of group key). We claim it is not adequate to employ the network key for such purpose, and propose a new Join-Leave operation protected by the application link key (a kind of pairwise key), which is based on a more efficient key management scheme than that of ZigBee. Hence, the original Join operation consists of a total of 12 command frames, while the new Join operation consists of only 6 command frames. In particular, the security of the proposed Join-Leave operation is equivalent to or better than that of the original Join-Leave operation. The new Join-Leave operation is extensively analyzed in terms of security and efficiency, and compared with the original Join-Leave operation of ZigBee.

In this paper, we propose an emotion transfer system based on LED, which presents and transmitts users emotion through Bluetooth and ZigBee using LED light. We propose an emotional LED system interacting multiple LED lighting system and implement the proposed system using smartphone and WPAN network with Bluetooth and ZigBee. For the transmission of data, ZigBee is adopted for each LED lighting system and Bluetooth is utilized for the smartphone. Also, the LED lighting systems which are connected to smartphone have both ZigBee and Bluetooth module for the heterogeneous network. The implemented system shows the validity and applicability of the proposed system.

Data collection and classification of products for factory automation is one of important processes. If conveyor systems corresponding to factory automation have crossroads, a lot of difficulties arise. These issues can be solved by using Zig-Bee technology capable of network configuration. Network with Zig-Bee is configured to coordinators, routers, and end-device. And Zig-Bee for up to 65,536 network formation is possible. In this paper, system to transmit the data of RFID tag to the host PC has been implemented, after connecting multiple EM4095 RFID system to Zig-Bee transmitter/receiver system.

Nowadays, wireless communication has a great advantage in technology. We use wireless devices almost in all expected life such as: entertainment, working and recently in the healthcare area, where Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) become a hot topic for researchers and system designers. Recent work on WBANs focus on related issues to communication protocol, especially ZigBee network is fine tuned to meet particular requirements in healthcare area. For example, some papers present real-time patient monitoring via ZigBee communication given the short distance between body sensors and remote devices, while the other work solve the limited coverage problem of Zigbee by designing mechanisms to relay Zigbee data to other types of wire or wireless infrastructure. However, very few of them investigate the scenarios of ZigBee coexisting or integrated with other networks. In this paper, we present the real-time data transmission from ZigBee end devices to Wide Area Network (WAN), Worldwide interoperation for microwave access network (WiMAX) and Long Term Evolution network (LTE). We provide in detail the ZigBee gateway components. Our simulation is conducted by OPNET, we visualize many topology network scenarios in ZigBee hybrid system. The results in simulation show that ZigBee end devices can successfully transmit data in real-time to other network end devices.

ZigBee Alliance is a network designed for low-cost and very low-power short-range wireless communications. The ZigBee Alliance is a consortium formed by several leading semiconductor and industrial manufactures, and end users. One of the tasks of this organization is the definition of the networking support and applications profiles that will use IEEE Std 802.15.4-compliant transceivers. In the case of IEEE Std 802.15.4, the ZigBee Alliance is an organization that has led the development of the upper layers, through the definition of application profiles. We have implemented ZigBee home control system, however we have not fully implemented. Because of the ZigBee is not perfectly standarded. We will have to implement according to ZigBee Specifications.
