For realizing an ubiquitous home network(uHome-net), various sensors should be able to be connected to an integrated wire/wireless sensor network. This paper describes an application case of applying LonWorks technology being widely used in control network to wire/wireless sensor network in uHome-net and the design and application of LonRF device that consists of a neuron chip including LonTalk protocol, a 433.92MHz RF transceiver, a sensor, and application programs. As an application example of the LonRF device, the LonRF smart badge that can measure the 3D location of objects in indoor environment and interwork with the uHome-net was developed. LonRF device based home network services were realized on the uHome-net testbed such as indoor positioning service, remote surveillance service and remote metering service were realized. This research shows that LonWorks technology based sensor network could be applicable to the control network in an ubiquitous home network and the LonRF device can be used as a wireless node in various sensor networks.

This paper describes the ubiquitous home network (uHome-net) testbed and LonRF intelligent devices based on LonWorks technology. These devices consist of Neuron Chip, RF transceiver, sensor, and other peripheral components. Using LonRF devices, a home control network can be simplified and most devices can be operated on LonWorks control network. Also, Indoor Positioning System (IPS) that can serve various location based services was implemented in uHome-net. Smart Badge of IPS, that is a special LonRF device, can measure the 3D location of objects in the indoor environment. In the uHome-net testbed, remote control service, cooking help service, wireless remote metering service, baby monitoring service and security ＆ fire prevention service were realized. This research shows the vision of the ubiquitous home network that will be emerged in the near future.

We believe that existing wire solutions such as HomePNA2.0 using phone lines and HomePlug using power line and wireless solution such as HomeRF are the most promising solutions, because of its cost-effectiveness. However, MAC protocols of these solutions provide only Class of Service(CoS) using priority mechanism like HomePNA and HomePlug or consider only voice among real-time traffics like HomeRF. For these reasons, we perceive the needs of the new MAC protocol which is no new wire solution and provides guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS) for not only voice but also video and audio. In light of this, we present the design and software implementation of a new MAC protocol for Home Networks. Our evaluation results of software implementation verify that proposed MAC protocol can provide low delay, low loss, and low jitter to real-time traffic by reserving bandwidth.

For home networking system with a function of air quality monitoring, a wireless sensor module with several air quality monitoring sensors was developed for indoor environment monitoring system in home networking. The module has various enlargements for various kinds of sensors such as humidity sensor, temperature sensor, CO2 sensor, flying dust sensor, and etc. The developed wireless module is very convenient to be installed on the wall of a room or office, and the sensors in the module can be easily replaced due to well designed module structure and RF connection method. To reduce the system cost, only one RF transmission block was used for sensors' signal transmission to 8051 microcontroller board in time sharing method. In this home networking system, various indoor environmental parameters could be monitored in real time from RF wireless sensor module. Indoor vision was transferred to client PC or PDA from surveillance camera installed indoor or desired site. Web server using Oracle DB was used for saving the visions by web-camera and various data from wireless sensor module.

This dissertation deal with over-all wireless communication technology. And introduce wireless communication technology analytically that it use for Home-LAN communication technology (HomeRF, Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11, HIPERLAN, etc). Home-LAN communications issue by the terminal field of the latest high-speed network construction. This technologies possesses characteristics and significances as the representative technology using in Home-LAN communication technology. Also, the method of application is conditional on individually. Wireless LAN put Home-LAN communications to practical use. Bluetooth have practical use for an individual mobile communications with internet. HomeRF have a vision that the construction of wireless system in house purely. Therefore, this dissertation investigates merits and demerits between those technologies. And then leads the most compatible technology for application of Home-LAN. Finally, this thesis have a view of the development course hereafter.

This paper describes the system that enables users to control the home electronic equipment using mobile phone. The home network industry is setting in network period that grow rapidly and get many interests. And, it is real condition that hailing of existed system is rising too. This paper developed system to make use of mobile phone regarding this and control boiler temperature in home to remote. This paper that serve this used skill of mobile programming, mobile Brew, RF radio communication, etc. for communication with server in an experiment. This paper presented another method that use RF radio communication and mobile device in home automation construction. The result of this paper will be expected to be able to contribute little in development of home network industry.

This paper introduces a modulation method for digital wireless communication based on general DS-QPSK. The design and fabrication is for home networking application to a typical RF transmitter with DS-QPSK modulator. This modulator implemented using VHDL hardware programming language, the fabrication of IC chip $5{\times}5 mm^2$ was carried by 27th IDEC MPW(Multi Project Wafer) process in 0.35${\mu}m$ rule at Samsung Inc. This paper presented the important of this technology for the future application in wireless sensor. This module can be efficient usage for home network to transmit the RF wireless sensor system.

Background and objective: This study identifies whether children's planning-organizing executive function can be significantly classified and predicted by home environment quality and wealth factors. Methods: For empirical analysis, we used the data collected from the 10th Panel Study on Korean Children in 2017. Using machine learning tools such as support vector machine (SVM) and random forest (RF), we evaluated the accuracy of the model in which home environment factors classify and predict children's planning-organizing executive functions, and extract the relative importance of variables that determine these executive functions by income group. Results: First, SVM analysis shows that home environment quality and wealth factors show high accuracy in classification and prediction in all three groups. Second, RF analysis shows that estate had the highest predictive power in the high-income group, followed by income, asset, learning, reinforcement, and emotional environment. In the middle-income group, emotional environment showed the highest score, followed by estate, asset, reinforcement, and income. In the low-income group, estate showed the highest score, followed by income, asset, learning, reinforcement, and emotional environment. Conclusion: This study confirmed that home environment quality and wealth factors are significant factors in predicting children's planning-organizing executive functions.

In-Home Display (IHD) is one of the most popular ways to induce voluntary customer participation in energy savings. Various communication technologies are used for recent IHD implementations, but most IHD systems are designed for each house because of their limitations such as communication coverage area and operation complexity. In this study, 400MHz RF communication is used for economical large-scale deployment of IHDs especially for apartment complexes that represent typical residentioal environment in Korea. Since it is essential to use internal batteries to increase the usability of IHD, the frequent changes of them should be avoided. By dividing communication data into 3 types such as common data, long term data, and short term data depending on their update periods, energy efficient communication protocol is designed and proposed. In result, the quantity of data and the battery consumption of IHD are reduced to 23.4% and 31.5% each without harming service quality.
