Emulation of IoT gateway for connecting sensor nodes in heterogenous networks

An Internet of Things (IoT) are `things' that com-municate in different networks. An IoT gateway which provides device connectivity and protocol translation is often expensive in case of small scale academic projects. In view of this, an Emulated IoT gateway is proposed that emulates the IoT gateway using a local computer in a cost effective way. The sensor data sent from sensor nodes connected in cellular network (GPRS), WiFi, RF, Bluetooth or in LAN using Ethernet are collected and successfully processed in cloud server.
