Abstract

A ubiquitous hierarchical generalized-sensor network (UHGSN) is presented as a typical network model for the future unified communication environment among human society, computer network and the real physical world. Two kinds of novel network elements, the sensor information processing unit and the hierarchical distributed agent server are introduced in this architecture for the effective information communication. The topology and addressing problems of the UHGSN architecture are analyzed in details, and the combined “key word” based characterized searching mechanism is discussed as the basic application in UHGSN, along with the corresponding protocol message definition. Simulation results show the advancements of the presented hierarchical architecture and the job-list based characterized searching mechanism.
