Abstract
This paper proposes a Home Network System (HNS) architecture integrated with Wireless Application Protocol and Short Message Service to support the connectivity between home and Internet/Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) networks. The HNS architecture includes an HNS gateway and three home network subsystems, i.e., home appliance, security and messaging subsystems. The main objective of the integrated system is to remotely monitor and control the devices in the HNS via laptop computer or a GSM mobile terminal. In addition to responding to remote queries, the managed devices (e.g., home appliances or burglar alarm system) can actively send alerting messages to a mobile terminal when an abnormal state occurs. Through the HNS gateway, the monitoring and control information is diffused to the Internet/GSM network. An implementation of the HNS system is described in this paper as an illustration of the feasibility of the proposed architecture.
