Fundamentals of ZigBee and WiFi

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Signal Interference in WiFi and ZigBee Networks

Part of the book series: Wireless Networks ((WN))

Abstract

This chapter focuses on the fundamentals and technical characteristics which will bring up significant effects on the interference and solutions. Since it is much easier for ZigBee to be interfered with by WiFi, this chapter will discuss ZigBee more.

Notes

  1. 1.

    SIFS is the amount of time in micro seconds required for a wireless interface to process a received frame and to respond with a response frame.

  2. 2.

    If a node finds that the medium is continuously idle for DCF interframe space (DIFS) duration, it is then permitted to transmit a frame.
