无线传感器网络（WSNs）的概念出现于90年代中期，在过去的几年里一直是一个研究热点。有几个因素促成了这一点，但无线传感器网络在日常生活的几乎每个方面的应用潜力是主要的。这种类型的网络是使用专有解决方案而不是标准解决方案开发的。最近，标准的重要性促使IETF标准在无线传感器网络中的使用，使互联网集成更容易。然而，还需要作出更多的努力，以实现全面融合。无线传感器网络主要使用IPv6协议，而IPv4协议是目前互联网上的主流协议。因此，必须提供IPv4到IPv6的转换机制，以允许所有互联网连接设备之间的交互，而与所支持的IP版本无关。提供标准的应用程序接口也很重要，以使应用程序开发更容易，并且独立于所使用的硬件平台。RESTfullWeb服务可以提供这个标准接口。因此，将联合收割机RESTfullWeb服务与IPv4到IPv6的过渡机制相结合，可以提高无线传感器网络服务的分发能力。为了节省无线传感器设备的资源，网关支持转换机制和REST Web服务。具有互联网连接的智能手机也可以成为无线传感器网络增长的驱动力，因为用户友好的应用程序可以用于检索和收集传感数据。本文提出了一种基于REST Web服务的解决方案，以允许移动的应用程序和IPv6兼容的无线传感器网络之间的交互。
The wireless sensor networks (WSNs) concept was appeared in the middle of 90s and have been a subject under intensive research in the past few years. Several factors have contributed to this, but the potential for application of WSNs in almost every aspect of day-to-day life is the predominant one. This type of networks has been developed using proprietary solutions instead of standard solutions. More recently, the importance of standards motivated the use of IETF standards in WSNs, making the Internet integration easier. However, more efforts are necessary in order to provide a full integration. The WSNs use mainly IPv6 protocol, but the IPv4 is the predominant one in the Internet. As a consequence, IPv4 to IPv6 transition mechanisms must be provided to allow the interaction between all Internet connected devices independently of the supported IP version. It is also critical to provide a standard application interface to make easier the application development and independently of the hardware platform used. The RESTfull Web services can provide this standard interface. So, combine RESTfull Web services with IPv4 to IPv6 transition mechanisms can increase the WSN services dissemination. The transition mechanisms and the REST Web services are supported in the gateway in order to save the wireless sensor device resources’. The smartphone with Internet connectivity can also be the drive to the WSNs growth, because user-friendly applications can be used to retrieve and collect sensed data. This paper proposes a solution based on REST web services to permit the interaction between a mobile application and the IPv6 compliant WSN.
