Design and Implementation of ZigBee Gateway for Ethernet

Abstract:

WSN (Wireless sensor network) using ZigBee has aroused people’s high interest, ZigBee is considered to be a general solution in many fields such as intelligent household, industrial application, security monitoring and medical application. But wireless sensor network can only provide service within a certain range, in order to overcome this limitation and provide remote application capacity, this paper proposes a technological solutions for the interconnection of ZigBee network and the Ethernet, develops a ZigBee gateway based on ARM platform. Based on the analysis of the ZigBee protocol stack and TCP/IP protocol stack, the protocol conversion mechanism of ZigBee and TCP/IP is presented. Through transplantation LwIP protocol stack, this paper achieves the goal of connecting gateway to Internet, and finally realizes the conversion from ZigBee network to TCP/IP network.
