Address Internetworking between WSNs and Internet supporting Web Services

There have been an increasing interest for wireless sensor networks as a new technology to realize the ubiquitous computing, and demands for internetworking technology between the wireless sensor networks and the Internet which is based on IP address. For this purpose, this paper proposes the internetworking scheme which allocating IP addresses to sensor node and internetworking based on the gateway-based integration for internetworking between the wireless sensor networks and the Internet. That is, the proposed scheme makes the access to the wireless sensor networks be serviced as like the web service with internetworking Internet IP address and ZigBee address which is allocated to the sensor node in wireless sensor networks. For validating the proposed scheme, we made experiments using Berkeley TinyOS, Mica Motes, and dual protocol stack based on ZigBee and IP.
