  1. Smart Home Technologies Networking

  2. Networking for Smart Homes • Requirements • Network Topologies • Technologies • Networking • Service Discovery

  3. Requirements • Noise Rejection • Network has to allow for reliable communication • Requires preservation of data and synchronization of data lines • Bandwidth • Smart Homes 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 • Smart Home networks will transfer private and sensitive data

  4. Bandwidth Requirements Example • Camera (15) – 320x240, 8-bit color • Motion (15) – distance, direction, velocity • Temperature (12) • Humidity (12) • Light (12) – frequency, intensity • Microphone (12) – 8000 Hz • Gas (4) • Pressure (100)

  5. Bandwidth Requirements

  6. Audio Phones (16 kHz, 8 bit) Radios (44 kHz, 16 bit) TVs (44 kHz, 16 bit) Media players (44 kHz, 16 bit) Monitoring (16 kHz, 8 bit) 2.4 Mbits/sec (one each) Internet, control, … Video Phones (30fps, 320x240, 8-bit color) TVs (60 fps, 1024x768, 24-bit color) Video players (60 fps, 1024x768, 24-bit color) Monitoring (30 fps, 320x240, 8-bit color) ~6.9 Gbits/sec (one each) Other Bandwidth Requirements

  7. Other Bandwidth Requirements

  8. Other Network Requirements • Worst-case throughput: 10 Gbits/sec • Maximum throughput: 5 Gbits/sec • Quality of Service (QoS) • Audio, video • Plug and play (service discovery)

  9. Network Topologies • Infrastructure-Based Networks • Pre-defined routes through the network • Nodes can directly address each other and routers forward packets appropriately • Addition of nodes changes the routing pattern • Point-To-Point Networks • Every node has a connection to every other node • Communication is directly between the nodes • High overhead setting up the connections for new nodes • Ad-Hoc Networks • Routes are determined “on the fly” and can change • Nodes forward signals for other nodes • Addition of nodes can be handled relatively straightforwardly

  10. Topologies (Point-to-Point) • Every device is connected to every other device • Good points • simplest approach • no addressing needed • everyone is your neighbor • you can always talk to your neighbor • Bad points • number of ports/lines grow relatively quickly with the number of devices A B C D

  11. Topologies (Hierarchy) • Devices are connected via hubs to other devices • If everyone is connected to a single hub, it is called a Star topology • Good points • fewer connections • devices can have neighborhoods • Bad points • you need an address • you may have to wait to talk to a neighbor • asymmetric communication with some devices A B C D

  12. Topologies (Broadcast) • All of the devices are connected to a single wire • Good points • single wire • everyone is your neighbor • Bad points • you need an address • you may have to wait to talk to anyone • collisions can occur • communication times become statistical A B C D

  13. Physical Addresses • If more than two devices are on the same wire (bus), you will need an address to send and receive data • Approaches • separate vs. combined data/address lines • hardwired vs. selectable address • Issues • as the number of devices increase, the address space (size of the address) must increase • hardwired addresses may tell you nothing about the network topology • addresses will be used up by devices that might not be on-line • so your address space may be too big, causing too much overhead 0001 A 1111 B 1000 C 1100 D

  14. Virtual Addresses • A solution to some physical address problems is a virtual address • the address space (size of the address) can be reduced by only giving addresses to on-line devices • addresses can be set up to support network topology • Approaches • fixed vs. run-time addresses • universal vs. p-to-p addresses • Issues • how to assign them • their relationship to the physical address 00 A 01 B 10 C 11 D

  20. Phoneline Network Issues • Random wiring topologies & signal attenuation • Home phoneline wiring system is a random “tree” topology • Simply plugging in the phone or disconnecting the fax changes the tree • This topology can cause signal attenuation • Signal noise • Appliances, heaters, air conditioners, consumer appliances & telephones can introduce signal noise onto the phone wires

  21. Powerline Networking • Ubiquity of power lines • 10+ Mbps • Technologies • X10 • Consumer Electronics Bus (CEBus) • HomePlug • LonWorks

  22. X10 • X10 controllers send signals over existing AC wiring to receiver modules • X10 technology transmits binary data using the Amplitude Modulation (AM) technique • www.x10.com

  23. X10 • To differentiate the data symbols, the carrier uses the zero-voltage crossing point of the 60Hz AC sine wave on the cycle’s positive or negative transition • Synchronized receivers accept the carrier at each zero-crossing point • X10 uses two zero crossings to transmit a binary digit so as to reduce errors

  24. X10 • Every bit requires a full 60 Hertz cycle and thus the X10 transmission rate is limited to only 60 bps • Usually a complete X10 command consists of two packets with a 3 cycle gap between each packet • Each packet contains two identical messages of 11 bits (or 11 cycles) each • A complete X-10 command consumes 47 cycles that yields a transmission time of about 0.8s

  25. Consumer Electronics Bus (CEBus) • Open standard providing separate physical layer specification for communication on power lines and other media • Electronic Industries Association (EIA-600) • www.cebus.org • Data packets are transmitted by the transceiver at about 10 Kbps • Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detect (CSMA/CD) • Employing spread spectrum technology (100Hz-400 Hz)
