On the design of UPnP gateways for service discovery in wireless sensor networks

摘要

In this paper, it is presented the design of a Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) gateway for wireless sensor networks (WSNs), capable of discovering all the services of a WSN, and creating a unique UPnP device to advertise them to interested UPnP control points. Besides, an application protocol for WSN is designed to exchange UPnP-related data between the WSN and the gateway. Experiments in an indoor environment with restricted sensor nodes confirm the feasibility of this solution.
