  2. Content • Overview • Topologies • Superframe structure • Frame formatting • Data service • Management service • Interframe spacing • CSMA procedure

  3. Introduction • Until recently the main concentration In wireless was on high throughput. • Some applications for home automation, security, agriculture,industrial etc. have relaxed throughput requirements with low power consumption and low cost. • Existing standards are not suitable because of high complexity, power implications and high cost.

  4. Applications Home automation • heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, security, lighting, and the control of objects. Industrial • detecting emergency situations, monitoring machines Automotive • automotive sensing, such as tire pressure monitoring; Agriculture • sensing of soil moisture, pesticide, herbicide, and pH levels. Others • Controlling consumer electronics, PC peripherals etc. Data rate needed ranges from 115.2 kb/s to less than 10 kb/s.
