Coexistence of Zigbee and Wi Fi Networks in Machine to Machine Home System

The possibility for the home to be networked wirelessly has greatly improved because of emerging technologies. Home networking is very much possible now with the different technologies that are available. This project is an application of two wireless technologies to machine to machine M2M home networking coexisting together. The networking technologies used and evaluated in the project are ZigBee and Wi Fi, where the risk of interference in the networks is identified and evaluated.The M2M home network system that was developed and implemented is an interconnection of electronic home devices grouped by sub networks categorized by each of the wireless technologies. Because the two sub networks are working in proximity, there is the high chance of interference. Connection for Zigbee include home electronic devices such as light fixtures, television, stereo, etc., and Wi Fi’s network is connections of remotely monitored IP cameras.The joint application of the two networks showed how these networks affect each other and how they coexist in one system. The paper explored the risk of interference of these two systems when the system is implemented. Guidelines were developed to overcome and mitigate these constraints.
