Research on DTN Based Interconnecting ZigBee Network Techniques

Abstract

ZigBee network is a restricted wireless sensor network, and it has wide range of extensions. To solve the interconnection problems between ZigBee networks and IP networks, we propose an approach called DTN based Interconnecting ZigBee Network (DIZN), present the architecture and hierarchy communication protocol of DIZN system, study the main functions of the communication process in DIZN modules, and implement a prototype of DIZN. The experiment results of the prototype system indicate the feasibility of the DIZN.
