Empowering Ubiquitous Services in Next-generation Smart Homes

This study proposes an architecture which integrates ad-hoc network and OSGi framework to support the ubiquitous services in next-generation smart home. The new architecture includes three-level network entities, each of which has its own capability and infrastructure. In order to realize information communication in the new architecture, a new model of protocols stack has been designed. As a result, a solution of ubiquitous services in smart home has been described in this study.
