СONNECTING SENSOR NETWORKS TO CREATE MULTIPROTOCOL IОT

Abstract

Possible ways
of integrating heterogeneous networks at several levels are considered, including at the level of applications,
gateways, and sensor devices. The main advantages and disadvantages of multiprotocol networks for each
of the proposed approaches to unification are identified. A comprehensive integration option is proposed,
which involves combining networks at different levels in order to increase the efficiency of their
functioning. Particular attention was paid to analyzing network integration methods, improving the
efficiency of data exchange, and ensuring the scalability, reliability, and security of the unified information
environment.
Keywords: Internet of Things, sensor networks, network integration, network topology.
