Communications System Toolbox Library for the ZigBee Protocol

Model and simulate communication in aZigBeenetwork

ZigBee®is a low-rate wireless personal area network (LRWPAN) standard that is used in a wide range of applications such as sensor networks, home automation, industrial automation, health monitoring, and the Internet of Things (IoT). ZigBee uses the IEEE®802.15.4 PHY and MAC specification. Other LRWPAN standards such as 6LoWPAN, WirelessHART and MiWi also use the IEEE 802.15.4 PHY and MAC.

TheCommunications System Toolbox™ Library for the ZigBee Protocolprovides end-to-end simulation of the entire communications stack (PHY, MAC, NET, APP). With this library, you can simulate the following:

  • PHY layer examples:

    • Waveform generation and decoding for the original IEEE 802.15.4 specification and IEEE 802.15.4b/c/d

    • Practical signal recovery for IEEE 802.15.4 OQPSK signals at 2.4 GHz

  • MAC layer examples:

    • Generate and decode IEEE 802.15.4 MAC frames

    • Simulate the asynchronous CSMA IEEE 802.15.4 MAC

  • NET layer examples:

    • Generate and decode data frames of the ZigBee NET layer

  • APP layer examples:

    • Generate and decode frames of the Application Support Sublayer

    • Generate and decode the header of ZigBee Cluster Library (ZCL) frames
