Abstract
The UPnP technology is an important enabler to allow devices to be connected seamlessly in home network. ZigBee is a wireless technology developed as an open global standard to address the unique needs of low-cost, low-power. Since a digital home consists of diverse technologies, integration between various home networking standards is a research issue opened in the field of home networking. In this respect, interoperability between UPnP and ZigBee is no exception. To address it, this paper proposes a software bridge that interconnects ZigBee devices with UPnP networks. The proposed software bridge guarantees seamless interaction by abstracting ZigBee devices as virtual UPnP devices and efficiently manages service information of ZigBee networks by employing a device registry. From experiments on the physical environment, it is shown that it performs well.
