School of Computer Science and Engineering, Vellore Institute of Technology, India Article Info ABSTRACT Article history: Received Feb 20, 2018 Revised Aug 3, 2018 Accepted Sep 1, 2018 The Internet of things (IoT) is a major source for technology solutions in many industries. The IoT can consider, Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) as the backbone network to reduce formation or advent of new technology. Integration of these would reduce the burden and form smart sensor node network with nodes given access to internet. WSN is already a major legacy system that has percolated into many industries. Thus by integration of IoT and WSN no huge paradigm shift is needed for the industries. . Keywords: Integration Internet of Things WSN Copyright © 2019 Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science.

INTRODUCTION IoT is the new age revolution which is intended to connect the machines with themselves more than connecting humans to machines. This means that there would be more machine to machine communication independently which would ease the job as on 2012 8.7 million devices were connected to the internet. In 2017, 20 billion devices were connected to internet and in an estimation by 2023, 50 billion devices would be connected to the internet [1]. IoT refers to the Internet of Things. It means that the IoT consists of physical devices ranging for day to day devices such as mobiles, laptops, television and so on including the home appliances to devices used for high end calculation and processing in the industries such as whether mapping, temperature measurements, fluid density control and so on. These are the devices that have contributed to mankind in various ways. To make these devices more accountable and intelligent we have to embed them with sensors and make them communicate as a network on the whole. This is possible by integrating the IoT with Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). The WSN consist on geographically distributed sensors that are used to monitor various physical parameter such as pressure, humidity, temperature, density and so on. These sensors would collect the data and process them by the help of centralized base station. Now is the era for digitizing the entire globe. We need to have devices communicated to each other for shrinking the entire Communication systems to the ease of human beings. One such arena that helps us to construct the communication systems globally is the Internet of Things (IoT). Using the IoT we are able to develop efficient digitized network that could possibly communicate with each other. The technology that has been developed so far has allowed us to create a network of senses that the wireless sensor networks. Using the WSN we are able to form a network of sensors that could collect data and process the data and make use of the information to develop the network. The integration of IoT with WSN has also been supported by various companies [2] such as: a. Smart-Planet: A project on efficient water management and formation of intelligent cities initiated by IBM which makes use of the sensors as primitive device.
