AN1017: Zigbee® and Silicon Labs® Thread Coexistence with Wi-Fi®

2020-10-28

This application note describes the impact of Wi-Fi on Zigbee and Silicon Labs Thread and methods to improve coexistence with Wi-Fi. These techniques are applicable to the EFR32MGx family. First, design considerations to improve coexistence without direct interaction between Zigbee/Silicon Labs Thread and Wi-Fi radios are described. Next, Silicon Lab’s Packet Traffic Arbitration (PTA) support to coordinate 2.4 GHz RF traffic for co-located Zigbee/Silicon Labs Thread and Wi-Fi radios is described. Finally, methods for using the coexistence CLI commands are discussed.
This application note describes EFR32 Zigbee and Silicon Labs Thread coexistence support for EmberZNet PRO 6.7.3.0 and Silicon Labs Thread 2.10.1.0. See section 8 Document Revision History for a summary of key changes in previous revisions of this application note.
Additional details about the implementation of managed coexistence are included in AN1243: Timing and Test Data for EFR32 Coexistence with Wi-Fi, available under non-disclosure from Silicon Labs technical support.
KEY POINTS:
•Wi-Fi impact on Zigbee/Silicon Labs Thread.
•Improving unmanaged coexistence .
•Implementing managed coexistence.
•Using the coexistence CLI commands.
