Abstract

Ubiquitous home refers not only to home but also to logical space, including a wide range of out-home personal devices such as mobile phones, PDAs, laptops, car navigators, and office PCs. There are certain connection barriers among the devices, such as the dynamic IP address, NAT. In a home network, various devices coexist in heterogeneous networks, such as IP, IEEE1394, PLC, Bluetooth, ZigBee, UWB, and IrDA, all of which lack interoperability due to their different physical transmission characteristics and protocols. In ubiquitous home where an unrestricted collaboration of the devices is essential to offer services that meet the users' requirements, free interoperability among the devices must be guaranteed. This paper proposes a networking model for interoperability of the heterogeneous devices in a ubiquitous home based on a virtual overlay network which hides the complicated physical network configurations and heterogeneity of the service protocols.

유비쿼터스홈은 댁내 뿐 아니라 휴대폰, 노트북 및 사무실 PC 등 댁외 개인기기를 포함하는 논리적인 영역을 포함한다. 이러한 기기 간에는 NAT, 방화벽 등 기기 간 네트워킹을 제한하는 요소가 존재한다. 또한 댁내에는 IP, IEEE1394, PLC, 블루투스, ZigBee, UWB, IrDA 등 물리적 전송 특성 및 프로토콜이 상이하여 상호 연동이 불가한 이종 네트워크 내에 다양한 기기가 공존하고 있다. 사용자가 원하는 서비스를 제공하기 위하여 각 기기 간 서비스 및 자원의 자유로운 조합이 필수적인 유비쿼터스홈 환경에서는 댁내외 이종 기기 간 자유로운 서비스 연동이 필수적으로 보장되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 유비쿼터스홈에서 기기 간 seamless 통신을 제공하는 가상 오버레이 네트워크를 기반으로 댁내외 이종 기기 간 서비스의 자유로운 광고, 검색 및 엑세스를 제공하는 네트워킹 모델을 제시한다.
