Cluster-based Address Configuration Scheme for All-IP Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

In order to realize all-IP communication between Wireless Sensor Network(WSN) and IPv6 Internet,an all-IP WSN address configuration scheme is proposed.The WSN is divided into multiple clusters to design a distributed IPv6 address configuration scheme.The cluster head node uses the stateful address allocation method and joins the dynamic tree of access node to obtain the IPv6 address.The cluster member node obtains an IPv6 address from the cluster head node within one hop through stateless address allocation,and performs duplicate address detection only within the scope of the cluster.Simulation results show that compared with the 6LoWPAN WSN hierarchical address configuration scheme,the proposed scheme has lower address configuration cost and delay.
