无线传感器网络与IPv6网络的互联方式研究

如何实现无线传感器网络(WSN)与TCP/IP(v6)网络的互联是当前的热点研究方向之一,全IP互联方式是当前讨论最为激烈的焦点问题.在WSN内部是否需要采用IPv6,是WSN协议设计需要回答的一个基本问题,其结论将在很大程度上影响今后WSN协议发展的基本走向.本文首先介绍了WSN与IPv6网络互联的各种方式,然后重点对采用全IP互联方式的必要性以及需要解决的关键技术问题进行了分析探讨,分析结果表明:全IP方式是实现WSN与IPv6网络互联的一种非常重要的思路,值得进行深入研究.

Research on Strategies for Interconnecting Wireless Sensor Networks with IPv6 Network

It is a hot research field to interconnect wireless sensor network (WSN) with TCP/IP(v6) network, and all-IP interconnection method is currently a focus issue under dispute. Whether IPv6 protocol is needed within WSN? It is a basic question when designing communication protocols for WSN, and the answer to it has much impact on the development trend for WSN protocol design. In this paper, several methods for interconnecting WSN with IPv6 network are firstly introduced and analyzed. Then, more attention is paid on discussing the significance of all-IP interconnection method and key technologies to be tackled with. At last, a conclusion is drawn from the analysis. It is believed that all-IP interconnection method is an important viewpoint to interconnect WSN with IPv6 network, and some work with regard to it need to be further carried out.
