TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a ZigBee coexistence guide system for a ZigBee system,

The present invention relates to a guide bus tone (GBT) signal control method capable of providing a reliable communication environment in a Zigbee network even in a Wi-Fi interference situation in a saturated state.

Zigbee is a core technology of IoT, which is a wireless sensor network (WSNs) and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) monitoring system It is getting attention for implementation.

However, as various heterogeneous devices such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, RFID, etc. using an unlicensed band of 2.4 GHz are increasing, coexistence is difficult.

In particular, the number of heterogeneous devices using Industrial Scientific Medical (ISM) bands is increasing, and the increasing use of mobile terminals and the unreasonable use of communication frequencies will lead to serious performance degradation.

In particular, network operators are urged to use the ISM band to distribute large mobile traffic, which is expected to be severely degraded due to the indiscriminate use of frequency resources by many wireless nodes in the future IoT field .

As shown in FIG. 1, when a Wi-Fi node used as an alternative for reducing mobile traffic and Internet data usage increasingly uses the same frequency band as that of ZigBee and neighboring places, not only a mutual interference problem but also a serious Resulting in performance degradation.

In order to solve such problems, frequency hopping and CSMA / CA algorithms according to the related art have been proposed, but they are still vulnerable to mutual interference problems in heterogeneous networks.

This is because the elements in the PHY / MAC layer between Wi-Fi and ZigBee are asymmetric, such as clear channel assessment (CCA) time for channel competition, transmission power, and transmission / reception switching time.

Cooperative Busy Tone (CBT) and light-weight Narrow Band Protection (NBP), which are solutions according to the prior art, have been proposed in order to overcome the limitations of CSMA. However, (Idle time), it can not be applied in a congested channel environment because it can not perform channel reservation (busy tone transmission) because idle time is not secured. There is a problem that it is dependent on the transmission time and the optimal design is not presented for the channel competition with the Wi-Fi node.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been proposed in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus for reducing the frequency waste, using in a congested channel environment, including an optimal design element capable of coexistence of ZigBee in a Wi- The aim is to provide a guide-tone signal control system for ZigBee coexistence in Wi-Fi impact.

The guide tone signal control system for coexistence of ZigBee in the Wi-Fi effect according to the present invention includes a busy tone signaler for transmitting a GBT signal according to at least one of preset transmission power, frequency and time control, And a busy tone canceling section for preventing interference.

The guide busy tone signal control system for coexistence of ZigBee in the Wi-Fi effect according to the present invention has the effect of enabling stable communication of ZigBee under the influence of the saturated WiFi.

It is possible to provide a communication environment that guarantees full PDR (Pacjet Delivery Ratio) without packet collision and interference with Wi-Fi to Zigbee using the same bandwidth by ensuring sufficient GBT power and eliminating magnetic interference due to busy tone. And enables coexistence between heterogeneous protocols.

Generally, Zigbee communication causes serious degradation in the asymmetric region formed by ZigBee, which has a relatively low transmission power, compared with a symmetric zone in which signals are detected with Wi-Fi.

Therefore, the GBT transmission power according to the embodiment of the present invention should notify the Wi-Fi node of the presence of ZigBee and make the Wi-Fi back-off state by reaching the power of CCA threshold value or more.

If the received power at the WiFi Tx node is β B , it should have a value higher than the CCA threshold value P Wth .

However, since the use of excessive power causes power dissipation and interference to Wi-Fi nodes in adjacent channels, the power control unit 110 determines an appropriate power damping f (D B ) according to the distance D B between the corresponding WiFi node and the GBT And allocates the GBT transmission power.

At this time, as shown in the following formula (2), the minimum amount of transmission power α B considering the attenuation of the distance can be obtained. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the analysis result of the GBT power.
