Next-generation home networking and relevant technologies

Abstract

The next generation home network that will accommodate various services with different quality requirements is introduced. Technical study items for realizing this network are described. Current technologies are overviewed to clarify what will need further consideration.

Vital Information Sensing in the Next Generation Convergence Home Network

“…Network image and several applications estimated Figure 1 depicts the next generation convergence home network (NgCHN) image, together with some information / signals transferred through the network [1]. The NgCHN connects to other networks through the broadband network e.g.…”

“…The rate of acceptance is significantly higher than for any other broadband medium such as ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line). After everyone has adopted FTTH, people will be able to enjoy a lot of new services on the next generation convergence home network (NgCHN) [1].…”

Home gateway requirements in next generation home network

“…In next generation home network, all devices will connect to IP-based network 1 and their data will be transferred interactively. Figure 1 shows the service image of the next generation home network.…”

Content Transfer and Supporting Technologies in a Home Environment over Next Generation Convergence Home Network - From Vital Information Transfer to Broadband Content Transfer

“…Network image and some characteristics are described in this section. Figure 1 depicts the next generation convergence home network (NgCHN) image, together with some information / signals transferred through the network [15] as an example. The NgCHN consists of the home backbone and edge networks.…”

“…The author has also presented an image of the next generation convergence home network (NgCHN), together with some applications [15,16]. This paper overviews, for the home environment, content transfer ranging from vital information transfer to broadband content transfer; we focus mainly on the viewpoint of network/transmission related lower layer functional issues.…”
