碩士 === 大同大學 === 資訊工程學系(所) === 95 === Smart/digital appliances (SAs) with network capability are very important applications in digital home. SCP and ZigBee are two important protocols which can be used to implement smart appliances. SCP proposed by Microsoft connects smart appliances through power line. ZigBee exploits IEEE 802.15.4 wireless technology that stresses low cost and low power consumption. It is highly likely that future home will have smart appliances with both protocols. How to seamlessly connect SCP-based and ZigBee-based smart devices is very interesting and important. In this thesis, we analyze the differences between ZigBee and SCP protocols, identify the problems of combining with two networks and propose the bridge-based solution to interconnect ZigBee and SCP networks. Freescale Semiconductor MC13193 and Yitran IT800SCP are used in the Bridge platform of ZigBee and SCP networks, respectively.
