Enabling Smartphone as Gateway to Wireless Sensor Network

The communication between Wireless Sensor Nodes and the Internet would require a gateway as these two network works on different standards. Mobile phone may be utilized to bridge this gap. It may act as a gateway for Wireless Sensor Nodes to connect with Internet and vice versa. Also this approach allows the smartphone to enrich the data collected from the Wireless Sensor Nodes before sending it to the Internet. In this paper, a low-cost solution is presented with open-source software and hardware that allows a wide range of smartphones to connect with sensors in a pervasive manner.
