Wireless sensor networks are expected to become ubiquitous part of our life applications. As a result,several technologies were established to cover the need of the market.Two of the most important technologies are ZigBee and EnOcean. So, due to the fast development and increasing importance of wireless sensor networks in the market and commercial fields, it becomes very important for graduate and undergraduate students to deal with these emerging technologies. The goal of this work is to create and develop an educational research suitable for gaining an experience and teaching a realistic wireless sensor networks environments by design, implement and test various experiments related to EnOcean and ZigBee protocols. The experiments carried out examined various concepts related to these protocols such as in EnOcean: sensing,repeating applications,remote management simulation,telegram transmission simulation,sub-telegram verification,telegram analysis and with regard to ZigBee: setup ZigBee network,extend it,joining,moving,deleting the mobile nodes within the network,network management (Polling),device and service discovery, Binding mechanism and finally data routing between nodes.
