RBCC : Reservation-based concurrency control for distributed UPnP devices

This paper proposes reservation-based concurrency control (RBCC) for distributed UPnP devices. The RBCC provides time synchronization between UPnP control points and device through precision timing protocol (PTP, IEEE1588). The PTP provides a standard method to synchronize devices on a network with submicrosecond precision. And the RBCC provide additional functions such as interfaces for reservation time of UPnP service. With those functionalities, the UPnP control point can operate the UPnP services in the distributed UPnP devices synchronously. We demonstrate our proposed architecture through implementation and evaluation.
