For the existing heterogeneous wireless M2M network architectures, different data link layers lack a common structure. In this paper, the concept of attribute assembly layer has been proposed, and an adaptive architecture for wireless M2M network has been built, based on the hierarchical heterogeneous modeling of Ptolemy II. Finally, saturated and unsaturated conditions network experiments have been designed in the part of system test. Experimental results show that this architecture has a low memory occupation and less time cost. It unifies the data link layers for heterogeneous networks and is compatible well with the existing platforms, communication protocols, and network mechanisms. The self-adaptive network has more connected sets. The proposed architecture has good adaptive capacity and it can apply to potential communication protocols.
