Research and application of IPv6 & WSNs based on CUTE testbed

For the increasing demand on campus network, IPv6 (Internet protocol version 6) is going to replace the IPv4 protocol. IPv6 is playing an important role in many fields. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are undergoing rapid progress and attracted the attention of both the academic and the industrial research community in the last few years. This paper reports on the development of these protocols at CUTE (China University Test Environment). Then, some applications such as WSN and GIS which running over an IPv6-based network has been introduced. In addition, we propose a middleware gateway that enables the data form WSNs display on the IPv6 environment world. Also, IPv6-based node is researched for 6LowPan protocol.
