Smart home networking : Combining wireless and powerline networking
In this paper, energy management and networking technology involved in smart homes, hat combines Power Line Communication (PLC) with wireless communication.
It support of renewable energy generation facilities, continue to work in the event of a power outage.
It reduce the impact of wireless interference on a smart home control network and unnecessary energy consumption of a smart home. It is the solution for future energy needs.
It is one of the applications of Smart technologies within our home, in creating a comfortable home and an effective lifestyle
It improves automation control and monitoring of household devices and connect via standard means of communication for its operation.
In short, there is no perfect solution that addresses all aspects in smart homes based on either PLC technologies or short-range wireless network technologies. Hence, it is desirable to combine PLC technologies with wireless network technologies.
The PLC technology makes use of the distributed power line infrastructure to transmit data and control signals.
The main advantages is compared to other alternatives is the availability of power line outlets in each room of a house, which avoids the costs of additional wiring in most residences and the convenience of the promisingly seamless communication with utilities via power line.
A backbone network of HomePlug C&C plus ZigBee for home appliance control in a smart home.
