Multiprotocol Rule Based Monitoring Framework on Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

As various fields are processing towards smarter systems with rapid adaptations towards sensor network to collect precious data, a common framework accommodating multiple protocols to communicate each other acting as a M to N gateway with user-controlled logic and middleware addition feature would ease the interoperability issues and pave a way towards better integration of sensor nodes into the ecosystem leading to much efficient communication across systems. The stronger infrastructure with lower cost of wireless devices and sensors have made economical for any sized industry to adapt but due to the monopoly of certain vendors with proprietary system, smaller scale industries aren’t able to invest capital due to interoperability issues with home grown products. Thus, we are focusing on creating a generic multi-protocol support framework for interoperability across the devices with data centric approach. The framework is designed in such a way that it is able to work across presence enabled devices along with backward compatibility such as HTTP for polling methods. Every data unit is processed across the different layers of the system and passed to the processor thread which applies the rules defined at prior and dispatches the notification or alerts to the respective destination as defined in the data packet.
