Abstract:

IPv6 is combined with low power consumption wireless personal area network based on IEEE 802.15.4 to build 6LoWPAN network which meets the future development of the internet of things and has far-reaching significance.In this paper,we propose a gateway solution for wireless sensor network based on 6LoWPAN,which can realize the wireless sensor network based on 6LoWPAN and IPv6 network interconnection.In addition,we relate and analyze the hardware and software design of the gateway.Finally,we set up a test network,and test the connectivity of the end-to-end network,change of the delay,round trip times,packets loss rate,and the throughput of the packets.Then we make briefly performance analysis of the network.The experiment shows that the gateway can realize the wireless sensor network based on 6LoWPAN and IPv6 network interconnection,and it can run in actual network environment.
