Battery operated routers, Sleeping and wakeup Routers on Zigbee, add on

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2591, CC2530, TIMAC

Dear sir/Madam,

 

We are involved in a new project based on CC2530 + CC2591 hardware.

We are using TI Zstack , Zigbee 2006. Mesh topology

One of the requirements of the project is to have the routers powered by battery.

The energy requirements oblige us to put the routers to sleeping 10 seconds and wake  up during 10 ms in order to synchronize packets with mesh neighbors.

Can anybody point me in the good direction to solve it?

Is there any TI partner offering this feature as a licensed software?

 

Thank you in advance,

Ricard

    Hello

    I need to know what solutions are here possible for this problem

    due to ZigBee routers high consumption, End Devices can be interesting to use, but star networks are really limited in terms of dimensions

    So please how is it possible to have solutions for low sleeping routers?

    I found a presentation that points to a possible problem solutions.
    This is the link to the PowerPoint:

    www.ece.uah.edu/~milenka/docs/am_ssst05_synch.ppt

     

    We are applying FTSP and one of the obstacles that we are finding are the 35ms  needed by Zigbee MAC Layer to return to join the network.
    As we have seen a period of 40ms awake and asleep 1 minute on the system could operate with 2 AA for a reasonable periods of 1.5 years.

    Another of the things that we have targeted is that if not necessary to use ZSTACK(Our case), better do so with  TIMAC and development of network and application layer that addresses Low Power Router using Time Synchronization.
