Abstract

Geographic information system (GIS) is traditionally used with desktop computers. The development of embedded, wireless, and positioning technologies have opened possibilities to apply GIS in new application areas and conditions. In this research area interoperability issues have been regognized to be one of the main challenges of in situ measurements in geosensor network (GSN) when using low-rate communication. We will present in this paper our first experiences about how to use geosensor network nodes and interoperable communication together with our location-aware system platform called Locawe. In the designed system GSN nodes are supporting IPv6 Packets over IEEE 802.15.4 (6LoWPAN) specification and are integrated with a GPS receiver. In addition in the designed system, GSN nodes can be used with mobile devices based on Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) SensorML standard and Binary XML best practices specification. As a result interoperable communication was tested successfully with two different kinds of mobile devices. On the other hand results show that better compressions are still needed for more efficient communication in low-rate networks.
