INTRODUCTION

The demand is growing for most applications to move to

wireless communication. The benefits are reduced

costs and easy implementation. Wireless communica-

tion does not require cabling and other hardware, and

the associated installation costs. It can also be imple-

mented in locations where installing cable is difficult.

Since the IEEE released the Wireless Personal Area

Network (WPAN) specification (IEEE 802.15.4™) in

2003 and onwards, it has become the real industry

standard for low-rate WPANs (LR-WPAN). The

specification applies to low-data rate applications with

low-power and low-cost requirements.

The Microchip MiWi™ P2P Wireless Protocol is

supported in MiWi Development Environment (DE). It is

a variation of IEEE 802.15.4, using Microchip’s IEEE

802.15.4 compliant and other proprietary RF

transceivers which are controlled by Microchip 8-, 16-, or

32-bit microcontroller with a Serial Peripheral Interface

(SPI). The Microchip MiWi P2P protocol stacks are now

expanded beyond the IEEE 802.15.4 specification to

support Microchip proprietary transceivers while using

IEEE 802.15.4 Media Access Control (MAC) layer

design as the reference. The MiWi P2P Wireless

Protocol Stack supports both P2P and Star topologies.

The MiWi P2P protocol provides reliable direct wireless

communication through a user friendly programming

interface. It has a rich feature set that can be compiled

in and out of the stack to meet a wide range of customer

needs while minimizing the stack footprint.

This application note describes all about MiWi P2P

Protocol and also its differences from IEEE 802.15.4.

The document details the supported features,

implementations and usage for wireless application

developers.

It is recommended for the readers to go through the

IEEE 802.15.4 specification and Microchip MiMAC/

MiApp interfaces before reading this application note or

working with the MiWi P2P and Star wireless protocols.

For more information on MiMAC and MiApp, refer to the

Application Notes “AN1283 Microchip Wireless MiWi™

Media Access Controller – MiMAC” (DS00001283) and

“ AN1284 Microchip Wireless MiWi™ Application

Programming Interface – MiApp” (DS00001284).

Protocol Overview

The MiWi P2P protocol stack modifies the

IEEE 802.15.4 specification MAC layer by adding com-

mands that simplify the handshaking process. It simpli-

fies link disconnection and channel hopping by

providing supplementary MAC commands. However,

application-specific decisions, such as when to perform

an energy scan or when to jump channels, are not

defined in the protocol. These issues are left to the

application developer.

Protocol Features

The MiWi P2P Wireless Protocol has the following

features:

• Supports Microchip PIC16, PIC18, PIC24,

dsPIC33 and PIC32 platforms through Microchip

XC8, XC16 and XC32 compilers, respectively

• Supports MRF24J40 (IEEE 802.15.4 compliant

radio transceiver) and MRF89XA (proprietary

radio transceiver) through Microchip Application

Libraries

• Functions as a state machine

(not RTOS-dependent)

• Supports a sleeping device at the end as a

communication node

• Enables Energy Detect (ED) scanning to operate

on the least-noisy channel

• Provides active scan for detecting new and

existing connections

• Supports frequency agility (channel hopping)

Protocol Considerations

The MiWi P2P protocol is a variation of IEEE 802.15.4

and supports both peer-to-peer (P2P) and star

topologies. It has no routing mechanism, hence the

wireless communication coverage is defined by the

radio range. The Guaranteed Time Slot (GTS) and

Beacon networks by option are not supported, hence

both the sides of the communication cannot

simultaneously go to Sleep mode. If the application

requires wireless networking and routing instead of P2P

and Star type communication, MiWi Mesh is a suitable

communication platform for proprietary standards. For

details on MiWi Mesh, refer to the Application Note

“Microchip MiWi™ Mesh Wireless Networking Protocol”

from the Microchip website. However, for

interoperability type of requirements with wireless

devices or nodes of other vendors, ZigBee

® protocol

based on IEEE802.15.4 is a good option.

IEEE 802.15.4™ SPECIFICATION AND

MiWi™ P2P WIRELESS PROTOCOL

Most of the products in the market use the original

IEEE 802.15.4a specification, also known as

IEEE 802.15.4-2003 or Revision A. In 2006, a revised

edition was published to clarify a few issues. Referred

to as IEEE 802.15.4b or 802.15.4-2006, the revision

added two PHY layer definitions in the sub-GHz spec-

trum and modified the security module.

In this document, references to IEEE 802.15.4 means

Revision A of the specification. The MiWi P2P protocol

takes IEEE 802.15.4 specification as the design

reference and expands the support from

IEEE 802.15.4 compliant transceiver to Microchip

proprietary transceivers.

Device Types

The MiWi P2P protocol categorizes devices based on

their IEEE definitions and their role in making the

communication connections as shown in Table 1 and

Table 2. The MiWi P2P protocol supports all of these

device types.

Supported Topologies

The IEEE 802.15.4 and the MiWi P2P protocol support

two topologies: star and peer-to-peer.

STAR TOPOLOGY

A typical star topology is shown in Figure 1. From a

device role perspective, the topology has one Personal

Area Network (PAN) Coordinator that initiates

communications and accepts connections from other

devices. It has several end devices that join the

communication. The end devices can establish

connections only with the PAN Coordinator.

As to functionality type, the PAN Coordinator of the star

topology is a Full Function Device (FFD). The end

device can be an FFD with its radios ON all the time, or

a Reduced Function Device (RFD) with its radio OFF

when it is Idle. Regardless of its functional type, the end

devices can only communicate to the PAN Coordinator.
