It emphatically discusses the positioning of the home gateway, implementation of its service gateway, its network management functionality and realization of private communication and private number under the circumstance of network convergence in future. It is concluded that the development of NGN and convergence of fixed and mobile networks must be taken into the consideration of home gateway functionalities and positioning, and that with the development of NGN, home networks and home gateway products would become fully developed in future, although they are not mature now.展开更多

The smart home gateway design technology based on ZigBee is proposed through integrated network communication technology and embedded technology, and this paper describes the design and implementation of man controller, ZigBee communication module, an Ethernet interface and a wireless communication interface.展开更多

Recently, Network Connectivity Proxy （NCP） concept has been proposed in literature as an effective mechanism to exploit full potential of low power features on network devices by impersonating their virtual presence. However, the NCP concept faces several open issues and challenges especially related to proxying of TCP connections and majority of daily used proprietary dosed-source applications. This paper presents a new approach for reducing network energy waste through intelligent collaboration among daily used devices （e.g., desktop computers, laptops, tablets, smartphones, etc）. It guarantees to run applications on only and only one user device that is under active use at that specific moment. To reduce energy waste and allow idle devices to sleep, our approach also takes benefit from a light- weight home gateway proxy with very basic practically realizable functionalities. The proposed system not just reduces energy waste of fixed devices but also enables mobile devices to significantly improve their battery life. Our developed software prototypes allow devices to autonomously and seamlessly collaborate with each other without requiring any configuration or user input. Further, this paper also presents the basic performance evaluation of developed prototypes in real networking environments.展开更多
