METHOD FOR CONNECTING IP-BASED USN WITH CONVENTIONAL IP NETWORK

摘要

An Internet protocol (IP)-based ubiquitous sensor network (USN) system is disclosed. The IP-based USN includes a plurality of sensor nodes having unique IP addresses and an IP-USN router. The IP-USN router has a table that stores each location address of the sensor nodes and periodically broadcasts its own presence information for updating the location addresses stored in the table. The sensor nodes in the IP-based USN system have unique IP addresses. Therefore, desired information and services from any external network may be obtained.
