Zigbee in Multiprotocol Applications#

This section provides background information on multiprotocol applications and details on using Zigbee in multiprotocol applications, including dynamic multiprotocol and concurrent multiprotocol models.

• Multiprotocol Fundamentals: Describes the four multiprotocol modes, discusses considerations when selecting protocols for multiprotocol implementations, and reviews the Radio Scheduler, a required component of a dynamic multiprotocol solution.

• Dynamic Multiprotocol User's Guide: Describes how to implement a dynamic multiprotocol solution.

• Dynamic Multiprotocol Development with Bluetooth and Zigbee: Provides details on developing Dynamic Multiprotocol applications using Bluetooth and Zigbee EmberZNet SDK 7.0 and higher.

• Running Zigbee, OpenThread, and Bluetooth Concurrently on a Linux Host with a Multiprotocol RCP: Describes how to run any combination of Zigbee EmberZNet, OpenThread, and Bluetooth networking stacks on a Linux host processor, interfacing with a single EFR32 Radio Coprocessor (RCP) with multiprotocol and multi-PAN support.

• Running Zigbee, OpenThread, and Bluetooth Concurrently on a System-on-Chip: Describes how to run a combination of Zigbee, Bluetooth, and OpenThread networking stacks and the Zigbee application layer on a System-on-Chip (SoC).

• Designing for Multiple Networks on a Single Zigbee Chip: Describes the multi-network stack feature that allows a single-radio chip to be concurrently part of more than one distinct network. Some limitations and restrictions are enforced by the multi-network stack and should be taken into account during the design of a multi-network application. These limitations are mostly related to the role the node assumes on the networks and are discussed here in detail.
