Abstract

In this paper, we present an integrated management system for WSNs (Wireless Sensor Networks). Each sink node of heterogeneous sensor networks is connected with a gateway. By supporting various hardware platforms and networking models, the gateway is able to collect management information from one or more WSNs and store it in a MIB (Management Information Base). The management system obtains management information from the MIB of the gateway by SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and analyzes it. A manager can have access to the management system through the Web wherever the Internet is available and manage WSNs as well as sensor nodes. We implemented the proposed management system and our findings revealed the practicality of this system.

본 논문에서는 무선 센서 네트워크들을 위한 통합된 관리 시스템을 제안한다. 이질적인 센서 네트워크들의 각 싱크 노드는 게이트웨이에 연결된다. 게이트웨이는 다양한 하드웨어 플랫폼과 네트워킹 모델들을 지원함으로써 여러 네트워크들로부터 관리 정보를 수집하여 MIB(Management Information Base)에 저장한다. 관리 시스템은 SNMP(Simple Network Management Protocol)를 이용하여 게이트웨이의 MIB으로부터 관리 정보를 얻고 이를 분석한다. 사용자는 인터넷을 사용할 수 있는 곳이라면 어디서든지 웹을 통하여 관리 시스템에 접속하고 센서 노드들과 네트워크들을 관리할 수 있다. 본 논문에서 우리는 제안하는 관리 시스템을 직접 구현하여 실용성을 보인다.
