Integrating data from heterogeneous wireless sensor networks based on LoraWan and ZigBee sensor nodes

Abstract

This paper proposes an extensible and flexible 4 layer network architecture for integrating data from heterogeneous wireless sensor networks with the open and private cloud structures. The proposed architecture has a number of advantages over the existing network architectures for WSN: integration of data from heterogeneous sensor nodes and providing a mechanism for their transmission to network cloud services; the ability to create geographically distributed WSNs over long distances covering different remote areas - cities, countries and continents.
