Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) has diverse application domains such as smart home, smart care, industrial, etc. In this paper, we present a WSN system based on the ZigBee technology (IEEE 802.15.4) in Smart Home. To have a good sensor networks communication implanted in a smart home, studies of operating performance on this network is important. In this work, we investigate the performance of our ZigBee sensor networks. The study of performance is based on measurements of the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) in different parts of the Home. We will also discuss the impact of electromagnetic noise on the communication performance of a ZigBee Sensor Network in the presence of a motor with variable speed drive.
