Abstract

This paper describes design and implementation of home network control protocol for networked home appliances. The proposed network protocol has four-layered protocol structure and device-modem interface structure for the flexibility of modems based on power line communication. The standard message set is specified to guarantee the interoperability between various home appliances The proposed protocol can be easily implemented because it has minimum network overhead.
