Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSN), are a useful technological tool to collect information of the environment. These networks have hardware platforms with limited computational, memory and energy resources. As a result, the WSN work with protocols specially designed to run on these hardware platforms (IEEE 802.15.4, ZigBee, etc.) and generally these are not compatible with the TCP/IP stack protocols. In order to present the data collected by WSN to user through TCP/IP networks (e.g. Internet), different hardware and software techniques must be implemented. This paper presents a survey on different approaches made to integrate WSN to TCP/IP networks.
