Description
Nowadays, due to rapid growth in wireless communication
technologies, the smart home concept has become very popular,
with an aim to establish a better quality of life by deploying fully
automated control of appliances and providing assistive support
to users. In a smart home, users and appliances are
interconnected by an enhanced communication network
comprising transmission media, such as twisted pair cable and
optical fiber, which transfer digital signals per a communication
protocol.
In this work, a smart home area sensor network (SHAN) is
simply known as a home area network and comprises all the
mechanical, electrical and digital devices that are interconnected
to form a network and can communicate with each other as well
as the user to create an interactive space. Such a network has a
central utility gateway that enables occupants to control home
appliances remotely over the Internet.
