Home Network and Digital Rights Management Technology

The home network is a major concern for the growth of digital and information society. Yet, how to guarantee the security of its digital content and protect the legal benefits for each section of the value chain becomes a crucial "bottleneck" in the home network development. The Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology provides total solution for usage, storage, transfer, and tracing the digital contents and rights. Its basic features are systematic and controllability. Considering the growth of the new media and services and the requirements of the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) protection in a home network, it's necessary to solve consistency problems in usage, storage, and transfer of contents and rights. In addition, it is inevitable to conduct researches of key techniques such as end-to-end secure transmission, conditional access and play, and right description.

Ubiquitous Access Technology for Wireless Digital Home Networks

As an important branch of telecommunication technology, digital home networks have quickly developed in recent years. Although architecture of the digital home network based on telecommunication networks has been standardized in China, only wireless access is defined to be allowable. Therefore, it becomes the focus of further research how to establish a wireless digital home network. This article proposes the concept and shows the architecture of ubiquitous access for wireless digital home networks. Moreover, key technologies for ubiquitous access are discussed here, including cognitive radio, the concept of wireless Mesh, generic link transfer mechanism, Quality of Service (QoS) guarantee mechanism, Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and coexistence of heterogeneous systems.

BAN and Remote Healthcare in a Home Network

An effective approach to improve healthcare quality is to provide Point-of-care (POC) service through a telecare system. A Body Area Network (BAN) consists of a variety of body sensors. In a telecare system the BAN can provide a network environment that allows timely collection of information and POC service, which gives significant new meaning to a home network. Through the BAN, a home network is able to promptly and effectively collect monitoring information for a telecare system, and to preview monitored medical data in advance. Should a problem arise, it can immediately notify other family members to provide relieve to the sick.

Design of child’s safety management system based on ontology using context information of home network

This paper presents a system to alert of dangerous a child situation of a child by applying context information collected from a home network to ontology that is capable of inference. Radio frequency Identification (RFID) and sensors were used for the configuration of a home network, to obtain the raw data to convert into context information. To express the ontology, web ontology language (OWL) was used to provide the inference of context information. Then, simple object access protocol (SOAP) messages were used to notify of the dangerous situations that a child may be involved in via mobile devices. The proposed system consists of Context Manager, Service Manager, and Notification Manager. The child’s safety management system can proactively detect the context data of a child on the basis of context awareness. In the experiment, the Jena 2.0 by ontology reasoner and the OSGi(Open Service Gateway initiative) Gateway developed using open source software Knopflerfish 1.3.3 were used to implement the service frame work.

Design and Implementation of a Novel HomePlug-Based Solution for Low Cost and High Performance Smart Home Networking

As the smart home is the end-point power consumer, it is the major part to be controlled in a smart micro grid. There are so many challenges for implementing a smart home system in which the most important ones are the cost and simplicity of the implementation method. It is clear that the major share of the total cost is referred to the internal controlling system network; although there are too many methods proposed but still there is not any satisfying method at the consumers＇ point of view. In this paper, a novel solution for this demand is proposed, which not only minimizes the implementation cost, but also provides a high level of reliability and simplicity of operation; feasibility, extendibility, and flexibility are other leading properties of the design.

Millimeter-wave wireless communications for home network in fiber-to-the-room scenario

Millimeter-wave(mmWave)technology has been well studied for both outdoor long-distance transmission and indoor short-range communication.In the recently emerging fiber-to-the-room(FTTR)architecture in the home network of the fifth generation fixed networks(F5G),mmWave technology can be cascaded well to a new optical network terminal in the room to enable extremely high data rate communication(i.e.,>10 Gb/s).In the FTTR+mmWave scenario,the rapid degradation of the mmWave signal in long-distance transmission and the significant loss against wall penetration are no longer the bottlenecks for real application.Moreover,the surrounding walls of every room provide excellent isolation to avoid interference and guarantee security.This paper provides insights and analysis for the new FTTR+mmWave architecture to improve the customer experience in future broadband services such as immersive audiovisual videos.

Modeling Secure Home Area Network Based on IoT for Resource Constraints Environment

The Internet of things (IoT) can be used in our daily life. Home area network (HAN) is one of the applications of loT. However, deploying HAN for underdeveloped countries in Africa is not easy due to the lack of Internet connectivity and stable electricity. First of all, Internet in Africa is growing fast but the majority of countries in Africa have Internet penetration of less than 10%. Furthermore, the problem of accessing electricity varies greatly across African countries, which is still less than 30% of the average usage rate. The aim of this paper is to model a secure HAN based on IoT for resource constraints environment, which are focused on both network connectivity and energy stability. Poor connectivity, the prevalence of low-end devices and several other obstacles should be considered for the secure HAN deployment in developing and underdeveloped countries. The proposed HAN model will provide the resource constraints module composed of network connectivity function and energy stability function to support the two constraints based on the IoT basic module and the security and privacy module. The proposed HAN model could be securely applied to various countries HAN applications with poor electricity supply and network connectivity.

An EEGA-Based Bayesian Belief Network Model for Recognition of Human Activity in Smart Home

With the emerging of sensor networks, research on sensor-based activity recognition has attracted much attention. Many existing methods cannot well deal with the cases that contain hundreds of sensors and their recognition accuracy is requisite to be further improved. A novel framework for recognizing human activities in smart home was presented. First, small, easy-to-install, and low-cost state change sensors were adopted for recording state change or use of the objects. Then the Bayesian belief network (BBN) was applied to conducting activity recognition by modeling statistical dependencies between sensor data and human activity. An edge-encode genetic algorithm (EEGA) approach was proposed to resolve the difficulties in structure learning of the BBN model under a high dimension space and large data set. Finally, some experiments were made using one publicly available dataset. The experimental results show that the EEGA algorithm is effective and efficient in learning the BBN structure and outperforms the conventional approaches. By conducting human activity recognition based on the testing samples, the BBN is effective to conduct human activity recognition and outperforms the naive Bayesian network (NBN) and multiclass naive Bayes classifier (MNBC).

考虑同侧和跨侧网络效应的UGC平台广告投放和内容创作补贴策略

UGC平台连接着内容创作者和消费者,双边用户间存在的同侧和跨侧网络效应吸引着他们进入一个或多个平台,从而形成不同的部分多归属结构。基于Hotelling模型,通过构建UGC平台的竞争模型,研究了双方均单归属(SS)、仅消费者边部分多归属(MS)和仅内容创作者部分多归属(SM)3种部分多归属结构下同侧和跨侧网络效应影响下的平台广告投放与内容创作补贴决策,以及其对市场份额和平台利润的影响。研究发现:当消费者边单归属(SS或SM)时,平台的广告投放随同侧网络效应单调递减;当消费者边多归属(MS)时,平台的内容创作补贴和消费者规模会随同侧网络效应单调递增,而同侧网络效应对平台的广告投放水平的影响是非单调的,其受到消费者对广告厌恶水平的影响。当消费者边多归属(MS)时,随着消费者边的跨侧网络效应的增加,平台会采取提高广告投放水平和内容创作者补贴,即从消费者处获得更多的广告收入以补贴内容创作者的策略;而随着内容创作者边的跨侧网络效应的增加,平台会降低广告水平并提高内容创作者补贴,即采取同时向两边用户让利的策略。当内容创作者边多归属(SM)时,随着消费者边的跨侧网络效应的增加,平台会同时向两边用户让利;而随着内容创作者边的跨侧网络效应的增加,平台会降低广告投放和内容创作者补贴水平,即降低对内容创作者的补贴而让消费者观看更少的广告。当某一边用户选择多归属时,该边用户的规模会随跨侧网络效应的提升而增长。通过对不同情形下均衡结果的横向比较,还发现双边用户中存在多归属的前提是较强的跨侧网络效应,而内容创作者多归属时,平台更容易对内容创作者提供补贴。
