A new interconnection scheme for WSN and IPv6-based internet

Most applications of WSN are monitoring or inspection of the phenomenon, which determined its inability of isolation but for necessity of interconnection with external network. IPv6, the kernel protocol of next generation networks, since its advantages in huge addresses, support of address's auto-configuration and mobility, research of whose implementation on remote management and configuration of WSN is of great significance. Therefore, with the research and analysis on current interconnection schemes for WSN and IPv6-based internet, in this paper, a new scheme of interconnection is proposed considering simplicity, flexibility, reliability and low power consumption, meanwhile simulation shows its greatly potential advantages, worthy of further research.
