Abstract

ZigBee is a low-rate control network communication protocols which designed for the wireless sensor networks with low power consumption, low cost, low complexity, safety and reliability characteristics, and thus have a broad market prospect. ZigBee PHY layer and MAC layer protocol used IEEE802.15.4. This paper analyses the function of MAC layer in IEEE 802.15.4, introduces the process of design and realize of hardware and software co-design of MAC controller in Zigbee chip, put emphasis on consideration of low cost and low consumption.
