Design of Multiple Hetegenous Protocols Conversion of Home Gateway Based on Task Description
The disunion of communication protocol standards at present creates a huge barrier against the interconnection and interoperability of heterogeneous devices in home. To solve this problem, a method of multiple protocols conversion of home gateway was proposed to integrate a variety of heterogeneous protocol networks. Firstly, a new task description language based on ClassAD was designed to describe different heterogeneous devices for communicating each other in home networks. And a plug-in expansion mechanism was introduced to improve the scalability of heterogeneous protocols and the throughput of home networks system. As a result, the ability of semantic interoperability of heterogeneous devices is achieved to integrate new applications and drivers into the deployed intelligent home system during runtime based on the proposed home gateway.
