Smart Home Networking: Lessons from Combining Wireless and Powerline Networking

“…In addition, interfaces of a mobile node fail to remain entirely independent from each other since they still share an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) object as well as a radio propagation model at the lower level. The authors in [15,16] presented a Multi-InteRfAce Cross Layer Extension (MIRACLE) to NS-2, which serves as a generalized modular framework providing well-defined software interfaces for new features in NS-2 to facilitate simulations in an environment of multiple radio technologies. The architecture uses modularization at each layer and cross-layer communication due to constructional design and functionalities involved.…”

“…The solution to the issues of MIMC in our model is partially inspired from the idea of dynamic configuration in [12] and the modularity of node construction in [15]. Different from these approaches mentioned previously, each channel belongs to a single network in simulations.…”

“…Smart home automation is a prime example of a smart environment built on various types of cyber-physical systems generating volumes of diverse, heterogeneous, complex, and distributed data from a multitude of applications and sensors. Therefore, such home automation is also an example of an Internet of Things (IoT) scenario, where a communication network extends the present internet by including everyday items and sensors, which in this case includes the possibility to monitor and manage energy usage (Jin, C., 2011). As such, smart home automation systems incorporate common devices that control features of the home, but they do not only turn devices on and off.…”
