Abstract:
Home network (Homenet) is a good application scenario for ICN
considering it is a point where diverse users, devices, applications,
and services meet. Homenets are getting increasingly complex with
the presence of application specific sensors, smart appliances, and
smart networking devices such as residential gateway. Home
automation today is being driven by several alliances such as DLNA,
AllJoyn, ZigBee, and Z-Wave aimed at supporting homenet services such
as multimedia sharing, lighting control, climate control, and energy
management. These standards overlay application semantics over a
host centric architectures which is inefficient, and the lack of
inter- operability among these standards results in high cost,
inflexibility, and inter-operability issues. Homenet is an
information-centric environment where the objective is to enable
consumers and producers to interact in a contextual manner
independent of their underlying topology arrangement. Although the
overall homenet objectives over an ICN framework versus any other are
the same; ICN can distinguish itself by providing a rich service
abstraction layer applicable in local scale as in BAN/PAN/LAN, and
also enable intelligent interaction beyond the homenet boundary.
In this draft we share the idea of a contextualized information-
centric bus (CIBUS) which builds over ICN abstraction of naming, name
resolution, and content dissemination for home network by providing
support for service management, context processing and monitoring,
policy management, and policy based routing and forwarding. CIBUS
allows applications and services to discover each other, subscribe/
notify to event upon which service composition can be realized
locally or in a centralize manner. Furthermore, service policies can
be applied at high granularity which can be imposed in the routing
and forwarding plane through ICN extensions. Some of these CIBUS
features that were realized in [5] is presented here.
