Abstract-An IEEE 802.15.4-based Wireless Sensor Network is considered, and the relationship between the IEEE 802.15.4 topology formation mechanism and possible routing strategies at the network layer is studied. Two alternative routing schemes proposed in the framework of the ZigBee Alliance are analyzed. The first is the well-known Ad-hoc On demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol, which was designed for highly dynamic application scenarios in wireless ad-hoc networks. The second is a tree-based routing scheme based on a hierarchical structure established among nodes during the network formation phase. This latter approach, referred to as HERA (HiErarchical Routing Algorithm) in the paper, routes packets from sensors to sink based on the parent-child relationships established by the IEEE 802.15.4 topology formation procedure.An extensive simulation analysis is carried out to compare HERA and AODV. It is shown that a hierarchical routing scheme based on the MAC association procedures offers several benefits with respect to reactive routing in typical sensor network applications. Moreover, it is to be noted that most sensor network scenarios are concerned with delivery of packets from a series of static sensors to a single, static, sink.

This paper is concerned with constructing a prototype intelligent home environment for home service robot. In this environment, multi-pattern information can be represented by some intelligent artificial marks. Light-packs service robots can provide reliable and intelligent service by interacting with the environment through the wireless sensor networks. The intelligent space consists the following main components: smart devices with intelligent artificial mark; home server that connects the smart device and maintains the information through wireless sensor network; and the service robot that perform tasks in collaboration with the environment. In this paper, the multi-pattern information model is built, the construction of wireless sensor networks is presented, the smart and agilely home service is introduced. Fi-nally, the future direction of intelligent space system is discussed.

Other technologies offer much better performance, or even lower cost, if deployed from scratch, but still many X I 0 networks already exist that could be greatly improved by using a simple and cost effective wireless solution.…”

Abstract. Although several newer technologies ex ist in the domotics market, one of the oldest remains extremely popular. Despite of its very Iimited functionality and performance, X I 0 is still a very common technology to manage simple Horne Networks. Even if other wired solutions such as KNX/EIB or LonWorks out perform XIO in every single aspect, they might still be a bit of an overkill when addressing simple needs in a modest Horne Network. However, XIO lacks support for wireless networks that could add a lot of functionality to its wired network. A good example would be how sensor networks could communicate with already existing XIO modules to allow full horne automation in, for example, light and shutter contra I. This paper will focus on the use of802.15.4 to add functionaIity to simple XIO networks, in particular how 802.15.4 could allow the use ofremote controls (or switches) acting over regular XIO modules, and how XIO switches can act over wireless modules using 802.15.4 as the transport layer. We will also see how 802.15.4 doesn't add complexity in the deployment and management of XIO Horne Networks, which is one of the reasons such an old technology remains popular.
