Trend of Home Network • There is a growing need to add network connectivity to more home devices. • The Forrester Research reports, by year 2010, up to 95% of the devices used to access the Internet are non-PC devices. By year 2020, the global thing-to-thing Internet (IOT) will be developed into a trillion-US-Dollar industry. • The network connectivity of machine-to-machine (M2M) communication will be a primary market demand for embedded networking systems.
Requirements of Home Networks • Noise Rejection • Network has to allow for reliable communication. • Requires preservation of data and synchronization of data lines. • Bandwidth • Home networks can contain many sensors and actuators. • Sensor data can be generated at different rates. • Connectivity • Sensors have to be connected to processing units. • Integration • Network structures have to be integrated into buildings. • Privacy and Security • Home networks will transfer private and sensitive data.
Installation & Maintenance of Home Network & Networked Home Appliances • Installation (Plug & Play)Allows devices to describe themselves.Allows remote inquiry of devices.Individual home/room identification. • Maintenance (Supported application code)Build-in basic function of device.External downloaded program.User altered control program.
Emergency Handling • Cutoff power supply when malfunction. • The front door must not be locked when emergency condition in house occurs. • The fire alarm must turn off all gas and electricity.
Types of Home Networking • Wired1. Phone Line Networking (HomePNA)2.Power Line Networking (X10, CEBus, HomePlug, LonWorks)3. Other wires (Ethernet,USB, IEEE1394 Firewire, I2C) • Wireless1. WiFi2. ZigBee3. Bluetooth4. Infrared
Web Controller • Considerations:1. Easy hardware and software developments. • 2. High to medium CPU performance, but low-cost. • 3. Enough I/O ports & interface supporting. • Solution: • Single-chip Microcontroller with TCP/IP, 10/100M Fast Ethernet MAC/PHY, and flash memory. • The ASIX company (Taiwan) provides software libraries (incl. I2C, UART, Timer, TCP/IP Stack) and develop tolls for their AX110xx family. • RTOS support.
