Abstract
Smart home is a prime research interest among researchers around the globe due to the fact that it offers ample features to make people’s life effortless and efficient. People can lead their life smartly through the use of smart home technology [17]. There are numerous communication systems in both wired and wireless media exist that are used in smart home technology. However, not a single communication system itself can satisfy all the demands of secure, comfort and intelligent smart home system. Wireless communication is flexible, requires negligible number of instruments, cheap and easy to install but the key concerning issue for wireless communication system in smart home technology is the slow data rate. In contrast, wired communication provides better performance through the provision of higher data rate and uninterrupted connectivity; however, consumers have to pay substantial amount of payment for smart home services [3]. Therefore, it is essential for researchers to analyze both wired and wireless communication system in terms of data rate and area of coverage in order to find out the right communication system for right feature of smart home system. In this paper, authors reviewed and analyzed both wired and wireless communication methods that are commonly used in smart home technology. It can be seen after careful analysis that for majority of the services of smart home system can get better result through the use of wireless communication system even though wired communication system offers better data rate and greater coverage.
Highlights
INTRODUCTIONAll appliances and electrical and electronic components of the home can be monitored and controlled by smart home technology
A Smart Home is an automation system which can be accessed remotely [1]
In order to automate the system, artificial intelligence can be integrated with smart home technology for example, in case of emergency when operation must be taken but inhabitant is unable to send a command, smart home system must take the right decision with the help of artificial intelligence in case of such emergency
Summary
All appliances and electrical and electronic components of the home can be monitored and controlled by smart home technology. Controlling and monitoring of smart home appliances cannot be possible in absence of inhabitants. The key criteria for establishing smart home is to make people life easy and secure and these requirements can be fulfilled by the implementation of power efficiency gain, eco-friendliness, ideal home management, safety and security assurance and artificial intelligence [4]. Smart Home Technology has some cabbalistic aspects, which can be divided into several parts such as new powerful features integration, instruction methods, communication systems between the device to device or device to the internet, security improvement, artificial intelligence, and development of the mobile application etc [7]
