These home networks can be simple or complex. A simple home network may have just one wireless router that provides Internet access. A complex home network, however, may serve more devices and be designed for the smart life that we are experiencing now. Specifically, a complex home network can provide high-speed network services for many intelligent terminals at home, including televisions, sound systems, mobile phones, and personal computers. It can also connect to a Network Attached Storage (NAS) system to offer services such as secure data storage, automatic content acquisition, and information sharing. Similarly, the home network can interwork with an intelligent security protection system to remotely monitor the home environment, intelligently detect threats, and generate alarms accordingly. By interconnecting with an Internet of Things (IoT) system, the home network can provide automatic or remote control of various home appliances and intelligent devices. For example, an air conditioner can be turned on in advance while on the way home, so we can get comfortable the moment we open the door.
IoT Authentication

A home infrastructure is equipped with various various smart devices like smart lights, smart fridge, smart oven, smart washing machine and so on. This all the devices will be connected with a smart meter. In the initializing phase, all the devices will register with the smart meter. So whenever a new smart device becomes part of home network, it registers with the meter. Major communication protocol used here will be Zigbee. Authentication between a smart meter and home devices is important for protection from unauthorized device entry in to home network. A smart meter will collect data from each smart device on how much energy is consumed by each device, and which device needs more electricity. If the home is also enabled with a solar rooftop then switching between electricity by plant and electricity by solar can be managed with the help of a smart meter.
Mobile WiMAX Networks

The process of roaming in IPv6 network takes place as follows: The mobile station, which is identified by an IP address in its home network, moves in to the area of a visited network. The IPv6 provides for neighbor discovery and router discovery where the devices can find the link layer information and maintain reachability. The mobile devices acquire an IP address via DHCPv6, which is the “care of address” (CoA) in the visited network. Address auto-reconfiguration is a built-in feature of IPv6.The CoA is conveyed to the home agent in the home network. This is done by the mobile device by sending a binding update message to the HA (this is acknowledged by a binding acknowledgement message). The home network now maintains a binding cache between the CoA and home address (HA). This enables the applications to continue to address the device by its home address IP while the routing happens to its destination as per CoA.Data transfer happens via optimized routes between the two networks.The process can continue until a new binding update is sent by the mobile station.
SDN in the home: A survey of home network solutions using Software Defined Networking

Apart from the works that focus on a specific aspect of managing home networks, such as bandwidth allocation or security, several articles introduce their own approach of exploiting SDN in home networking, from a general perspective. Two of the first works in this category were developed as part of the Homework project (The University of Nottingham, 2012), and aimed at redesigning exiting home-network infrastructure (i.e. routers) based on the concepts of SDN to provide the user with better understanding and control as well as novel interfaces (Mortier et al., 2011, 2012). The authors in (Chetty & Feamster, 2012) take the home network as a case study to discuss how SDN can be used to refactor current networks and provide users with the correct level of network visibility and actionable information. The concept of virtualisation is suggested in the remaining works of this generic category (Boussard et al., 2014; Dillon & Winters, 2014; Flores Moyano, Fernández, Bellido, & González, 2017; Moyano, Cambronero, & Triana, 2017). These four works differ in their proposed architectures, but agree on virtualising the home network and delegating the management and control of the network to someone in the cloud, most probably the Internet Service Provider (ISP). This aims to remove the management burden from the user while providing the usability of the network.
End-user development of smart home rules using block-based programming: a comparative usability evaluation with programmers and non-programmers

Different authors approach the definition of ‘smart home’ from different perspectives. Risteska Stojkoska and Trivodaliev (2017), for example, defined smart homes as ‘the use of ICT in home control, ranging from controlling appliances to automation of home features (windows, lighting, etc.)’. From a more technical perspective, Ricquebourg et al. (2006) defined ‘smart homes’ as ‘a house which is equipped with smart objects, a home network make it possible to transport information between objects and a residential gateway to connect the smart home to the outside Internet world’. Katuk et al. (2018) defined a smart home as a ‘home or living environment that uses technology to allow electrical appliances and systems to be controlled automatically’.
Seamless connectivity architecture and methods for IoT and wearable devices

The connection process starts with the gateway (home/ roaming) receiving the peripheral device’s non-connectable advertisement. As described in 2.2.1 and 2.2.2, from the initial advertisement packet, the gateway can determine: whether the observed peripheral device is a part of a home network (either real-time or offline), andwhich is the provider’s IP address.
