Summary :

Processing structures required in sensing are designed to convert real-world information into useful information, and there are various restrictions and performance goals depending on physical restrictions and the target applications. On the other hand, network technologies are mainly designed for data exchange in the information world, as is seen in packet communications, and do not go well with sensing structures from the viewpoints of real-time properties, spatial continuity, etc. This indicates the need for understanding the architectures and restrictions of sensor technologies and network technologies when aiming to fuse these technologies. This paper clarifies the differences between these processing structures, proposes some issues to be addressed in order to achieve real fusion of them, and presents future directions toward real fusion of sensor technologies and network technologies.
