Abstract :
IPv6 over Low-power Personal Area Networks (6LoWPANs) enables IPv6 support for wireless sensor networks (WSNs), making them connectable through the Internet. However, new gateway devices are needed in order to make end-to-end connectivity between sensor nodes and Internet devices possible. In this paper, a ready-to-use WSN gateway is constructed to connect WSNs and IPv6 hosts, allowing interaction with each other in real time through the IPv6 protocol. The experimental results show that the gateway successfully enables communication between a WSN comprising distinct nodes and IPv6 clients, allowing IPv6 clients to read and show sensor nodes data and to actuate on their assets.
