Abstract :
Wireless applications have become an integral part of our everyday lives. In this paper, we focus on novel applications in a home environment utilizing 802.11a/b/g as the underlying network. These networks constitute the foundations of an attractive framework, allowing the users the freedom of mobility coupled with feature-rich functionality. The system includes networked appliances such as refrigerators, ovens, HVAC systems, and personal video recorders (PVR), entertainment systems such as networked DVR, VCR players, and home surveillance and security systems. We assume that the customer has broadband connectivity in general such as xDSL, cable modem, WISP, or ISDN.
