As a promising integrated circuit, wireless communication and micro-computing technology, the technology of sensor network that will lead the information technology industries of the next generation and realize the ubiquitous computing is one of the most active research topics and its research activities are also making today. From now on, each node, the network formation, and even the sensor network itself will interact with the generic network and evolve dynamically according to environmental changes in a process of continual creation and extinction. Therefore, address-internetworking between sensor network and generic network which are used different address mechanism is required. In this paper, we propose a static address-internetworking scheme for interactive networking between a sensor network and the Internet. The proposed scheme that possess a gateway approach to perform the protocol translation from one protocol to another, an overlay approach to constructs an overlay network on the WSNs and enables static internetworking between a sensor network address scheme based on Zigbee and the Internet address scheme based on the Internet Protocol. In addition, we verify the proposed scheme by an interconnection experiment.

As a promising technology that enables ubiquitous computing and will lead the information technology industries of the next generation, the new field of sensor networks is one of the most active research topics today. From now on, each node, the network formation, and even the sensor network itself will interact with the generic network and evolve dynamically according to environmental changes, in a process of continual creation and extinction. In this paper, we propose a address-Internetworking scheme for interactive networking between a sensor network and the Internet based on the TCP port-numbers. The proposed scheme enables internetworking between a sensor network address scheme based on Zigbee and the Internet address scheme based on the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). We implement the proposed address-Internetworking scheme using Berkeley TinyOS, Mica Motes, and IP. In addition we verify the proposed scheme by an interconnection experiment, which involves wireless sensor networks and the Internet, using IPv4/IPv6.
