An experience of implementing IPv6 based data retrieval system for Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is one of the most demanding research topics prevalent in the modern research domain. WSN consists of densely deployed sensor nodes in the area which is to be sensed or monitored. Each sensor node is a tiny and power constrained device which is assigned the task of monitoring. Sensor networks have a very wide range of application and so they are much in demand. Every tiny sensor node needs to transmit the sensed data to more powerful sink nodes or base station. Thus as communication is an important aspect of WSN, so the underlying technologies being used should also be competent enough to enable better functionalities. This paper deals WSN technologies. A successful WSN has been designed with heterogeneous sensing devices using the most popular and efficient technology, namely the IP technology.
