Abstract :
This paper introduces a means of enabling the collaboration of Set-Top Box and Residential Gateway platforms. We propose an approach that can let MHP Xlets use OSGi resources and vice versa, i.e., OSGi bundles use MHP services in a simple and efficient way. In our approach, BundleContexts and XletContexts are passed to authorized Xlets and bundles respectively. We have implemented the required software components, and an experiment has been conducted which has verified that our proposal is practical.
