IP based wireless sensor networks with web interface

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is one of the emerging technologies which will have a major impact on our day to day life in the near future. Current trends have indicated the need for the usage of wireless sensor networks for various purposes. The deployment of an IP-based wireless sensor network is the next step to integrate this technology with the internet enabled devices for global connectivity and provides end to end communication. This paper proposes a method by which data storage and processing is moved from the resource constraint sensor nodes to a high capacity PC. Apart from this, it further enables the remote users to access the sensor data using simple http based URL via any internet enabled devices. To facilitate this method, sensor nodes are used with 6LoWPAN technology that eliminates the need for translators between WSN and IP networks.
