Abstract

ZigBee devices are limited in resources especially on power and computational capacity but also require real-time operation at MAC layer. Therefore, it is important to take those requirement into consideration of system software design. In this paper, we proposed a compact system software design to support simultaneously ZigBee and IEEE802.15.4. The design strictly respects the resource and real-time constraints while being optimized for specific functions of both Zigbee and IEEE802.15.4. Various evaluations are done to show significant metrics of our design.
