Internet of Things (IoT) has become an emerging platform for connecting real-world objects for desired service provisioning via the Internet. The real-world devices or objects in IoT enable a smart environment with the help of Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). However, the integration of MANET and WSN in the IoT environment requires a flexible and unified framework for efficient and secure communication between intelligent objects or devices. The state-of-art works in this direction lack standard communication framework for effective implementation of MANET with WSN. In this paper, an efficient and secure communication framework for interconnecting MANET and WSN devices is presented. The proposed communication framework comprises different phases such as collecting data using sensors, sending the data to data processing centers via the mobile access points and finally forwarding the data to data centers for analysis, decision making and reporting purposes. The proposed integration solution is discussed in detail and is evaluated with a case study on data harvesting in rural areas. The efficacy of the proposed framework is reported which will significantly drive the integration of MANET and WSN in future internet using smart objects.

物联网（IoT）已成为新兴的平台，用于通过Internet连接实际对象以提供所需的服务。物联网中的现实设备或对象借助移动自组织网络（MANET）和无线传感器网络（WSN）来实现智能环境。但是，在物联网环境中将MANET和WSN集成需要一个灵活而统一的框架，以便在智能对象或设备之间进行有效和安全的通信。朝着这个方向发展的最新技术缺乏用于有效实现带有WSN的MANET的标准通信框架。在本文中，提出了一种用于互连MANET和WSN设备的有效且安全的通信框架。拟议的通信框架包括不同的阶段，例如使用传感器收集数据，通过移动访问点将数据发送到数据处理中心，最后将数据转发到数据中心以进行分析，决策和报告。对该提议的集成解决方案进行了详细的讨论，并通过对农村地区数据收集的案例研究进行了评估。据报告，该框架的有效性将极大地推动MANET和WSN在未来使用智能对象的Internet中的集成。
