Abstract:
The importance of Wireless Sensor Network to be connected to the Internet can be observed with the emergence of Internet of Things. Applications that require WSN nodes to be connected to the Internet has been steadily increasing over the years. Knowing the fact that these low capability devices cannot handle TCP/IP protocol stack, a new format has been introduced. IPv6 over Low Power Personal Area Network (6LoWPAN) enables these devices to be connected to the Internet seamlessly and the important network device that interconnects the WSN network and the Internet is the gateway. In this paper, a gateway system that manages the packets from both the WSN and the Internet is proposed. The system ensures that WSN nodes would be IP addressable and provides end-to-end connectivity. Two types of experiments to measure the functionalities, which are to provide end-to-end connectivity and performance on latency and transmission success rate are measured. A new packet format i s also proposed with the elimination of the length field from the compressed UDP header. The experiment results showed that end-to-end communication was successfully established by allocating IPv6 address to the node at the gateway. Packet transmission success rate is 100% for 1 hop scenario while latency ranges from 60 and 145 ms and it is comparable with existing prior arts that ranges from 70 ms to few minutes.
