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.
