Heterogeneous network integration based on protocol conversion
Huijuan Chen · 2016
It is a tendency for Internet of Things to research Zigbee-WiFi hybrid communication. This paper introduces a heterogeneous network integration module based on protocol conversion which can integrate 802.15.4 network with 802.11b network. The heterogeneous network integration module resolves mismatch problems on physical layer, MAC layer and address mapping, meanwhile it makes a contrast with existing Zigbee-WiFi gateway and found to be advanced and effective in three performance indexes: network connection speed, SINR (signal interference noise ratio) and network delay. All design and realization of heterogeneous network integration are based on QualNet simulation software.
