Design and Implementation of Gateway for Wireless Sensor Networks: Zigbee and Bluetooth

Abstract

 In this paper, we design, implement and investigate an interoperable gateway for wireless personal area networks. The proposed system verifies the interoperability between increasingly resilient IEEE 802.15.4 based Zigbee system and IEEE 802.15.1 driven Bluetooth System under noisy RF environment. Furthermore, the designed interoperable system is also employed in smart metering application using Zigbee sensor nodes. A user friendly front end is designed using Python. The proposed system can be extended to incorporate IEEE 802.11 based WLAN, IPv4, GSM, Wimax and LTE.
