  • Home network control protocol for networked home appliances
    IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics, 2006
    Co-Authors: Kwan-joo Myoung, Jae-min Lee, Dong-sung Kim, Wook Hyun Kwon
    Abstract:

    We propose a new home network protocol for networked home appliances (NHAs). The proposed protocol is designed for a control network using power line communication, and has low resource overheads and low cost for the NHAs, which operate on an 8-bit microprocessor. The proposed protocol network is implemented in a home control network system that comprises a home server and networked home appliances, such as washing machines, microwave ovens and air conditioners

  • Design and implementation of wireless home network system using Home network control protocol
    2005
    Co-Authors: Dae-kil Yoon, Kamrok Lee, Kwan-joo Myoung, Wook Hyun Kwon
    Abstract:

    This paper describes the design and implementation of a wireless home network system using Home network control protocol (HNCP) called the wireless HNCP home network system. For wireless interfaces of HNCP, IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.15.4 standard protocols are considered. With the implementation of the wireless HNCP home network system, a simple analysis about coexistence between IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.15.4 is achieved. Through the implemented wireless HNCP home network system and the analytical results about the coexistence between both two difierent wireless protocols, the feasibility of the wireless HNCP home network system is shown.

  • A new home network protocol for controlling and monitoring home appliances - HNCP
    2002 Digest of Technical Papers. International Conference on Consumer Electronics (IEEE Cat. No.02CH37300), 1
    Co-Authors: Jae-min Lee, Kwan-joo Myoung, Kamrok Lee, Dong-sung Kim, Wook Hyun Kwon
    Abstract:

    In this paper, a new control network protocol, HNCP (home network control protocol), is proposed for controlling and monitoring home appliances. HNCP is a four-layered protocol and the standard message set is specified to guarantee interoperability between different home appliances and vendors. HNCP also specifies a detailed device-modem interface structure that guarantees the flexibility of modems.

  • Mechanism Design for Resource Allocation in networks With Intergroup Competition and Intragroup Sharing
    IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems, 2018
    Co-Authors: Abhinav Sinha, Achilleas Anastasopoulos
    Abstract:

    We consider a network where strategic agents, who are contesting for allocation of resources, are divided into fixed groups. The network control protocol is such that within each group agents get to share the resource and across groups they contest for it. A prototypical example is the allocation of data rate on a network with the multicast/multirate architecture. Compared to the unicast architecture (which is a special case), the multicast/multirate architecture can result in substantial bandwidth savings. However, design of a market mechanism in such a scenario requires dealing with both private and public good problems as opposed to just private goods in unicast. The mechanism proposed in this paper ensures that social welfare maximizing allocation on such a network is realized at all Nash equilibria (NE), i.e., full implementation in NE. In addition it is individually rational, i.e., agents have an incentive to participate in the mechanism. The mechanism, which is constructed in a quasi-systematic way starting from the dual of the centralized problem, has a number of useful properties. Specifically, due to a novel allocation scheme, namely “radial projection,” the proposed mechanism results in feasible allocation even off equilibrium. This is a practical necessity for any realistic mechanism since agents have to “learn” the NE through a dynamic process. Finally, it is shown how strong budget balance at equilibrium can be achieved with a minimal increase in message space as an add-on to a weakly budget balanced mechanism.

    Abstract:

    Recently, various home network systems, such as LonWorks, Echonet, and LnCP, etc., are developed to enhance customer's comfort and convenience. However, it is not known that performance of any protocol is superior. Hence, this paper evaluates performance of LnCP (Living network control protocol) by LG Electronics and LonWorks by Echelon. For this purpose, we have developed simulation model using state diagram of LonWorks and LnCP, and simulation conditions through analysis of message to be generated in the smart home. Also, we evaluate performance, such as maximum transmission delay and mean transmission delay, of both protocols.

  • A new control protocol for home appliances-LnCP
    ISIE 2001. 2001 IEEE International Symposium on Industrial Electronics Proceedings (Cat. No.01TH8570), 1
    Co-Authors: Koon-seok Lee, Hoan-jong Choi, Chang-ho Kim, Seung-myun Baek
    Abstract:

    This paper proposes a new control protocol, LnCP (Living network control protocol), targeted at low implementation cost networking system in a home environment. The protocol is based on a multi-master system and uses a peer-to-peer communication model. The protocol assumed single bus therefore the appliances can be attached to the bus anywhere if the power lines are employed as the network bus. Home appliances linked via LnCP are controlled and monitored at remote place. Every device communicates with each other in packet unit, which has variable length so that the protocol can deal with the devices having the diverse room of RAM resource. The bytes number of the packet header is also variable in order that the new function can be added in the future. The minimum hardware requirements to implement the protocol are 8-bit processing microcomputer including built-in UART, 17 bytes of volatile memory and a few bytes of nonvolatile memory. Therefore it may be embedded in low-cost microcontrollers that are employed in white goods such as refrigerators, washing machines, micro oven ranges and even light switches.
