Description
Summary:Wireless Sensor Network using many wireless communication protocols, such as Bluetooth, ZigBee, ultra wideband, and wifi. Wifi has the advantages of high data rate and long range distances, but it requires a great power. While ZigBee has the advantages that it uses less power, but the resulting low data rate and short range distances. With respective these advantages and disadvantages, this paper make interface between ZigBee and wifi communication standards. Data is transmitted by the ZigBee Transceiver then its received and processed by ZigBee and wifi interface. The result of data conversion then transmitted wirelessly to the wifi transceiver, and it will be displayed on a computer. Wifi transceiver has a dual function, receive data and also send the data back to the ZigBee transceiver to display on LCD through the interface. ZigBee and wifi interface is working to convert the data from TCP/IP protocol into ZigBee protocol and applies vice versa. The system can communicate properly when the baud rate is 9600bps.
