Wiring at Cyber Apartment: 

Wiring at Cyber Apartment Star-topology centered at Terminal box Ethernet Voice communication Communication channels needed Wireless AP (Cleaning robot, PDA) PLC (Consumer electric devices) RS485 (Sensors, Visitor check) Dimension of Terminal box Hyundai : 330 x 270 x 80 mm Daelim Officetel : 300 x 200 x 50 mm Location of Terminal box Below dining table (Mid & Large size household) Shoe chest (Small size household) Terminal Box Embeddable Home Gateway (Entry/Exit Point) Intermediate communications and services Home Network Security & Privacy Network Configuration Always on Terminal Box

Wiring at Existing Building: 

Wiring at Existing Building Centered at xDSL Modem or Cable Modem User can select modem location Solution for additional wiring Wireless AP for data communication Control communication using RF or PLC Home Gateway Separated or converged style with STB Separated style Home network security & Privacy Always-On Durability & Stability (House lifecycle & installation env)

Minimal Wiring: 

Minimal Wiring Use existing network Power Line : Standardization Issues Phone Line : Replaced by Broadband network More Wiring Wireless AP : Needs dark side consideration Low-cost Radio Communication for Control networks ZigBee, UWB Standardization and Technology Development Stage Needs time for commercialization

PLC Protocol (1): 

PLC Protocol (1) Delaying PLC Protocol Standardization Two Major Protocols : LNCP (LG), S-Cube (Samsung) PLC Protocols in Korea S-Cube: Samsung Electronics Samsung’s proprietary PLC protocol : Use Eschelon’s Neuron Chip Consumer Electronics (Aircon, Refrigerator) & Lightings/Switches Control KT Consortium : Samsung, Mando Winia, Rinnai Korea, Planet INT, … LonWorks Lights & Switches MAT & Samsung Heavy Engineering LNCP : LG Electronics Samsung’s proprietary PLC protocol : Use iTran chip Consumer Electronics (Aircon, Refrigerator) & Lightings/Switches Control SKT Consortium : LG, Daewoo, … Z256 Low speed (340bps) PLC protocol : Use Korean modem chip (Planet) Lightings/Switches Control Rinnai Korea, Keukdong Kijeon

PLC Protocol (2): 

PLC Protocol (2) Problems in Installation Home Gateway needs a master modem per protocol Terminal box has piping for power Home gateway PLC Master modem per protocol Signal collision between modems : endurable More Requirements Power, data, and voice lines for veranda More power, data, and voice lines for living room Solutions Multiple PLC Protocols HNCP Standardization LNCP & S-Cube & Z256 Collision : Negligible

Interoperability for Appliances: 

Interoperability for Appliances Interfaces for Home Appliances Consumer Electronics, Lightings and Switches PLC : RS-232C Multi IR Controller, PSTN Controller Sensors & HA Devices RS485 : No standard protocols Ethernet (KT Linkers) Home Viewer USB or Wireless STB: Ethernet Misc. Appliances: Ethernet or Wireless AP Problems Many Requests for Certified IP or Fixed IP Preparing New Interfaces Solutions Port Forwarding Service Agent on Home Gateway

Interoperability for Services (1): 

Interoperability for Services (1) Requirements for Service Frameworks Execution Env. Machine-independent code : Java or C# Binary code for specific CPU Development Env. Visual Studio(MS), Web Sphere(IBM) Embedded Development Env, SDK for Framework Management Env. Service Agent, Download, Device Monitoring, … Service Delivery and Management Server Multi-Platform : OSGi, IX-Platform, Web Service, … Communication Env. OSGi : No recommendation for communication env. XML/SOAP : MS, iCross Technology Services are different form frameworks Focus on Development, Management, and Communication Env. Service provider : Develop services for each service framework Use XML/SOAP

Interoperability for Services (2): 

Interoperability for Services (2) Service Delivery & Management Communication Protocol : XML/SOAP Use NMS for Remote Home Gateway & Appliances Management Privacy : Prohibit Unauthorized Home Appliance Accesses from Service Providers Security Policy for Home Gateway Authorization: Access Control Solutions XML/SOAP Communication OSGi Bundle or Web Service NMS Support Access Control for External Access

Security for Home Networks: 

Security for Home Networks Authentication & Identification Users Family ID vs User ID according to services In-Home vs Out-Door (In-Home : Check ID/PWD at the first connection only) Biometric Systems for seamless identification Services By service provider before service distribution Appliances Authentication using device certificate Use home gateway as a CA server

Security for Home Networks: 

Security for Home Networks Authorization (Access Control) For users Admin, Operator, User For services Protect privacy data Context-awareness Anti-crime and anti-disaster Considering privacy Service accessibility by user Firewall & Intrusion Detection Personal Firewall, VPN Intrusion Detection Virus wall & Parental service : Server service
