10. MAC LAYER
Device Classes
Full function device (FFD)
Can talk to any device.
Reduced function device (RFD)
Cannot talk to all the devices.
Address
All devices must have 64 bit IEEE addresses
Short (16 bit) addresses can be allocated to reduce packet
size
11. DEVICES
• Zigbee Coordinator (ZC):
• it is the root of the network tree
• acts as a bridge to other networks.
• Zigbee Router (ZR):
• acts as an intermediate router.
• Zigbee End Devices (ZED):
• functionality to talk to the parent node.
• cannot relay data from other devices
• allows the node to be asleep .
