Abstract:
|
The future digital home (DH) is envisioned
as a place where a plethora of diverse personal
and machine-to-machine communications will
coexist to support different applications in
areas such as information and entertainment,
home automation, home health care and home
security and management. Wireless technologies
are usually the preferred solution to cope
with DH communications for their ease of
installation and use. However, expected capacity
demand and the lack of coordination
between an increasing number of diverse wireless
devices in use within the DH is seriously
challenging the performance and usability of
wireless technologies. This article outlines a
novel technical solution intended to enhance
capacity and quality of DH wireless communications.
The proposed solution establishes a
radio-independent coexistence framework
where key operational radio settings of DH
devices are coordinately determined, and new
spectrum sources other than traditional ISM
bands can be exploited for DH communications.
The addressed solution enables a business
player to offer management services for
DH wireless communications so that ordinary
users can be relieved of complex management
tasks likely to arise within the DH. The article
discusses how potential management service
providers could benefit from the proposed
solution. Besides, the functional architecture of
the proposed solution together with the set of
procedures necessary for the management of
the DH wireless communications are outlined.
A realistic indoor scenario is presented as an
illustrative use case to show how proper decision
making logic in managing the DH could
improve the efficiency by selecting the most
suitable spectrum for in-house wireless communications.
Finally, the main implementation
issues are identified and discussed in order to
outline a feasible roadmap. |
