Abstract

Three potential home networking technologies are examined. The three networking technologies examined are Home Phoneline Networking Alliance (HomePNA) version 2.0, Home Radio Frequency (HomeRF) version 2.0, and the Bluetooth^TM wireless technology versions 1.0B and 1.1. HomePNA is a wired solution designed to work on current power and phone lines. HomeRF and Bluetooth are wireless solutions. HomeRF uses a combination of IEEE 802.11 and DECT technologies to achieve both reserved and free time/space for data transport. The Bluetooth wireless technology is a complete Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) stack of protocols and specifically designed profiles to implement certain applications
