Node software has 3 parts
Operating System which performs device-specific tasks
Sensor Driver which initializes the sensor hardware and performs
the measurements in the sensor
Host Middleware which organizes the co- operation of the
distributed nodes in the network

data through intermediate devices to reach more
distant ones
Bluetooth - Wireless technology standard for
exchanging data over short distances from fixed and
mobile devices by creating PANs’
6LoWPAN - Defined encapsulation and header
compression mechanisms that allow IPv6 packets to be
sent to and received from over IEEE 802.15.4 based
networks
