Research of an Embedded IOT Gateway Applied to Post-earthquake Rescue

Abstract

The wireless self-organization network, such as Zigbee network typically can be constructed quickly to connect the post-earthquake field and the command center. So, an IOT (Internet of Things) gateway is the necessary device to connect Zigbee network to TCP/IP network. In this paper, an embedded IOT gateway based on Xscale PXA270 was designed to send the data of demands such as drugs, food, excavators, reinforce from post-earthquake field to the command center to enhance the rescue efficiency. The experimental results show that the gateway has a high performance and can be applied to postearthquake rescue.
