Design and implementation of wireless sensor network gateway with multimode access

Abstract

Wireless sensor network has the characteristics of large-scale, ad-hoc network and wireless communication, it is one of research hotspots. The gateway plays a very important role as a conversion device between different protocols in the network. A kind of gateway with Ethernet, WI-FI, GPRS three access modes has been designed and realized in this paper, it realized the intelligent management of wireless sensor network and the conversion between sensor network protocol to TCP/IP. In the practical application test of nearly one year, gateway worked normally and performed stably. It can meet the storage, medical, household and other different application requirements.
