Development of embedded gateway for Wireless Sensor Network and Internet Protocol interoperability

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) usage for buildings and household has been increasingly popular because it offers various benefits, such as home automation and home surveillance. Therefore, in order to increase WSN usage flexibility, remote controlling which enables remote administration is required. In fact, generally WSN is controlled by a coordinator (sink node) that is located closely to the WSN area itself. By utilizing iterative development, which is suitable for main and supporting application development with several iterations, this research proposes WSN and Internet Protocol (IP) interoperability that enables remote controlling and managing through Internet. Eventually, this research creates a web-based application which will be implemented to a wireless Access Point (AP) for easier WSN remote controlling. Furthermore, it could accommodate WSN from various vendors by software only solution.
