A technique for terminal communication through transmission links established across a wireless sensor network is developed and tested. Using protocols established for conventional wireless communication networks as a guiding principle, different methodologies for link management, and segmentation and reassembly of information are explored. A protocol for sensor network encapsulation was designed and implemented across a network of terminals and wireless sensor motes. The study concludes with a discussion of the capabilities and limitations of this technique supported by results obtained through experiments under various scenarios.
