1. INTRODUCTION
The average age of people in India is on the rise. New challenges are arising to provide a safe
and secure living environment for them. As per the survey done by S. Irudaya Rajan [1], by
2050, the world population will peak to three hundred million. In that population, more
would be elder than younger. The situation arises; where elder people live alone without
assistance really require constant monitoring. Figure 1 shows the raising percentage of
elderly 60 and above from 2001 to 2051.

The smart home system provides an inviolable, safe sheltered and comfortable life like in an
assisted living environment. It enhances traditional security and safety mechanism by using
intelligent monitoring and access control.
The structure of this paper is as follows. Section 2 describes basic structure of a wireless
smart home and its components. In section 3 comparative analysis of different smart home
system is discussed. The conclusion and future research direction are presented in section 4.
2. SMART HOME SYSTEM
The basic structure of a smart home system is depicted in figure 2. The smart home
integration consists of three major areas, first, the physical components (electronic devices
sensors, actuators), second, the control system (artificial intelligence/expert system) and third,
the communication system (wired/wireless network) which connects physical components
and control system. The control system can access from home exterior through external home
network like mobile network or Internet. In a smart home system the physical components
sense the environment and pass to home control system through home sub networks and
home network. Home control system takes the decision and passes the control information to
the actuators through home network. For example, gas sensor detects the gas leakage in a
smart home and passes this message to the home control system through ZigBee, a wireless
network. Control system decides to switch off the gas valve and pass this to actuator, which
will off/close the gas valve.

2.1. Physical Components

The role of physical components is very important. It measures and collects the information
and shares with the control system through network. Sensors, microcontroller, actuator and
smart devices are used as physical components. Different applications use different sensors.
Table 1 lists the sensing property, sensing mode, and application of the sensors [2], [4].
Sensors observe the smart home residents interaction with objects such as doors, windows,
keys, and all home appliances. It recognizes activity of daily living.

2.2. Control System

Control system receives the information from different sensors and classifies it for the
different types of activities. For example, the data collected from the accelerometer sensor
positioned on the body recognize actions that involve repetitive body motions like walking,
running, etc.
A number of machine learning models are used for activity recognition in smart home
application [4]. Following are some example.

Nave Bayes Classifiers identify the activity that corresponds with the greatest
probability to the set of sensor values observed.
Decision trees - To learn logical description of the activities.
The probabilistic sequence of sensor events are encoded using Markov models dynamic,
Bayes networks and Conditional random fields. Temporal Reasoning with a rule based
system or Neural Network with reinforcement learner or Fuzzy rules develop an automated
decision-making and control techniques.

2.3. Communication System

The communication system is use to share the information between physical components and
control system in the smart home system. It can be wired or wireless communication. The
widely used wireless technologies are Bluetooth, WiFi, WiMAX, and ZigBee [5]. Bluetooth
is the first and popular low bandwidth wireless interface for the smart home. In the last few
years the bandwidth requirement of the smart home has increased dramatically which
introduces WiFi - a wireless local area networks technology based on the IEEE 802.11. It
covers an entire house, and the data rate is reduced to 1 MB or below at the far distance. It
consumes more power and provides low security. WiMAX provides wireless broadband
access and it is alternative to the cable connection. Due to the low cost, low power
consumption and easy integration into smart home control system ZigBee a wireless
technology become a quite suitable for smart home environment. Comparison of above
mentioned four wireless network technologies are shown in Table 2.

3. COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF A SMART HOME SYSTEM

The comparative analysis of a smart home system using wireless sensor network is done by
classifying a study into two categories as communication system and control system. The
literature on the communication system explains more about network part of a smart home.
The literature on the control system explains more about the methods and procedures used for
monitoring and control process of a control system in a smart home. Table 3 represent the
analysis with two categories as communication system and control system. The
communication system is further divided into routing algorithm and network based
categories. The first category discusses about the routing algorithm, which is used in home
(ZigBee) network of a smart home. Second category discusses about implementation of both
internal and external home network.

3.1. Communication System

3.1.1. Routing Algorithms
D.M. Han and J.H. Lim proposed smart home energy management system-SHEMS
[6]. This system divides and assigns various home network tasks to appropriate components.
It can integrate diversified physical sensing information and control various consumer home
devices such as lamps, gas valves, curtains, TV, and air conditioners with the support of
active sensor networks having both sensor and actuator components. A personal area network
based SHEMS consists of three software components, Sensing Infra gathers sensing data
and provides this to the decision components, Context Aware a intelligent computing
behaviour, Service Management a decision component adaptively selects the correct home
services based on the current home state. A new routing protocol DMPR (Disjoint Multi Path
based Routing) to improve the performance of the ZigBee sensor networks is also developed.
Ming Xu, Longhua Ma, Feng Xia, Tengkai Yuan, Jixin Qian, and Meng Shao
suggested [7] a star-mesh hybrid topology based smart sensor network architecture using
general mobile devices to provide more efficient and valuable sensor network application and
services. This architecture consists of four components, ZigBee network coordinator
responsible for communication, ZigBee node composed of sensors and ZigBee wireless
module, GPRS network transfer the gathered data to monitoring centre via the GPRS
network and the Internet, Monitoring centre manage the data generated by all ZigBee
network. An improved Dijkstra algorithm is presented and the performance is evaluated
through simulation.
C. Suh and Y.B. Ko put forwarded an intelligent home control system which divides
and assigns various home network tasks to appropriate components[8]. With the support of
active sensor networks, which is having sensor and actuator components, information are
sensed and control various consumer home devices. A new routing protocol LQIR (Link
Quality Indicator based Routing) is developed to improve the performance of active sensor
networks.

Dexing Zhong, Wei Ji, Yongli Liu and Jiuqiang Han demonstrated a design of smart
home network based on Zigbee wireless sensor network technology [9]. A more convenient
and reliable wireless communication environment for Zigbee wireless network in the smart
home system is achieved by using an improved routing algorithm, which is combination
Cluster-Tree and AODVjr algorithms.
3.1.2. Network Based
Anthony Fleury, Michel Vacher and Norbert Noury examined a SVM-Health Smart
home [10] in a real flat, with Infra-Red Presence Sensors (location), door contacts (to control
the use of some facilities), temperature and hygrometry sensor in the bathroom, and
microphones (sound classification and speech recognition). The data collected from the
various sensors, is then used to classify each temporal frame into one of the activities of daily
living that was previously acquired (seven activities: hygiene, toilet use, eating, resting,
sleeping, communication, and dressing/undressing). This is done by using Support Vector
Machines.
Bonhyun Koo Kyusuk Han James J. Park and Taeshik Shon implemented [11] the
design and implementation of the wireless sensor node and the coordinator based on ZigBee
technology. A monitoring system is built by using the GPRS network. An improved routing
algorithm based on the Dijkstra algorithm is presented to support multi-hop communications.
Yu-Chi Wu, Pei-Fan Chen, and Zhi-Huang Hu presented a mobile health monitoring
system with the integration of a wearable ring-type pulse monitoring sensor with a smart
phone [12]. Through Bluetooth measurements are transmitted to the smart phone where user
can monitor own pulse or temperature. Measured data are transmitted to a remote server
through the mobile communication of the smart phone, such as SDPA, Wi-Fi, WiMax,
GPRS, etc. The remote server also tracks the position of the monitored person in real time.
Khusvinder Gill, Shuang-Hua Yang, Fang Yao, and Xin Lu implemented a ZigBee
based virtual home automation system and Wi-Fi network which integrated through a
common home gateway [13]. The home gateway provides a simple and flexible user interface
and remote access to the home system.
Jiali Bian, Dengke Fan, and Junming Zhang proposed a new type of intelligent home
control system [14], using Android Phone which can act as a temporary home gateway
instead of default gateway. An intelligent control system also constructed based on user
behaviour analysis. To achieve energy savings and reduce cost they made the system to
automatically shut down the unused device.
Anuroop Gaddam, Subhas Chandra Mukhopadhyay, and Gourab Sen Gupta deliberate
and test the performance of the smart home monitoring system using zigbee radio frequency
(RF) communication [15]. Few highly accurate inexpensive smart sensors are used to develop
a typical in-house home monitoring for elder care application.
Hairong Yan, Hongwei Huo, Youzhi Xu, and Mikael Gidlund recommended a
wireless sensor network application for 24 hour constant monitoring [16] without disturbing
daily activities of elderly people. A mixed positioning algorithm is also proposed to
determine the location, where the elderly person is. This helps the system to determine the
persons activities and further to make decisions about his/her health status. This system
provides two types of basic needs: identify abnormal events and emergency alarms to doctor

through auto call, SMS and e-mail and day-to-day requirement such as taking of medicine,
turn off water heater and so on.
Yong Tae, Park Pranesh Sthapit, and Jae-Young Pyun designed a smart digital door lock
system for home automation [17]. This system consists, network of sensor nodes and
actuators with digital door lock as base station. A door lock system consists of RFID reader
for user authentication; touch LCD, motor module for opening and closing of he door, sensor
modules for detecting the condition inside the house, communication module, and control
module for controlling other modules. Advantage of this system is, it can be easily installed
immediately as per necessity without any prerequisite additional infrastructures.
Dipak Surie, Olivier Laguionie, Thomas Pederson implemented a smart home to keep
track of every day object and their state changes produced based on the users interaction
with them[18]. A ZigBee communication protocol based wireless sensor networking of 42
everyday objects embedded with 81 simple state change sensors of eight sensor types in a
living laboratory smart home environment is implemented.
Syam Krishna, J.Ravindra designed a remote home security system based on ZigBee
[19]. It consists of microcontroller based wireless sensor network center node with GSM
module, data collecting node, device control node and mobile phone. This system send
alaram signal to WSN center node when ever the ubnormal situation arise. The center node
send alarm short message to the users through the GSM module and GSM network
immediately. Similarly the user can also control the various devices connected with device
control unit through SMS.
3. 2. Control System
Kaibin Bao, and Florian Allerding discussed about the prediction of user interactions
within a real world scenario of energy management for a smart home [20]. To address the
challenge of balancing energy demand and generation, external signals, reflecting the low
voltage grids state, are used. Two prediction algorithms to estimate the future behaviour of
the smart home are presented: The Day Type Model and a probabilistic approach based on a
first order Semi Markov Model. Some experimental results with real world data of the KIT
smart home are presented.
M. R. Alam, M. B. I. Reaz, M. A. Mohd Ali, S. A. Samad, F. H. Hashim, M.K.
Hamzah, have an idea to study the psychological characteristics of home user [21]. People
follow some specific patterns in their life style. Inhabitant activity classification plays a vital
role to predict smart home events. This paper proposed a multiagent system to track the user
for task isolation. The system is composed of cooperative agents, which works by sharing
local views of individual agents. An algorithm is derived based on opposite entity state
extraction for activity classification. The algorithm clusters the smart home events by
isolating opposite status of home appliance. Result shows that the proposed algorithm can
successfully identify inhabitant activities of various lengths.
Yong Zhao, Wanxing Sheng, Junping Sun, Weijun Shi build up the friendly smart
home energy system [22] which is composed of smart meter, smart socket/switch, grid
friendly appliance controller, smart interactive terminal and other smart devices. Then it
respectively elaborates and analyses their main functions, and gives their design block
diagrams. Then they look into the future of home energy system and also introduce the
ZigBee communication technology and its smart energy profile, and give a few typical
transactions based on the ZigBee Smart Energy profile.

Christian Reinisch and Wolfgang Kastner developed [23] a smart home control
system with an agent characteristic such as goal drivenness, robustness and learning capable
behaviour complement. They describe the complete process from selection of the most suited
agent approach for smart homes to detailing the transition from system specification to
implementation.
Marco Jahn, Marc Jentsch, Christian R. Prause, Ferry Pramudianto, Amro Al-Akkad,
and Rene Reiners evolve a novel smart home system with integration of energy efficiency
features [24]. The smart home application is built on top of Hydra, a middleware framework
that facilitates the intelligent communication of heterogeneous embedded devices through an
overlay P2P network. Common devices available in private households and integrate wireless
power metering plugs to gain access to energy consumption data are interconnected. These
data are used for monitoring and analyzing consumed energy on device level in near realtime. The combination of both, a technically sophisticated smart home application and at the
same time transparent, intuitive user interfaces showing information regarding the energy
usage e.g. energy price, energy source, standby consumption has the potential to bring the
vision of the energy efficient smart home within reach.
Antti-Matti Vainio, Miika Valtonen, and Jukka Vanhala make out an idea to change
the environment, which always conforms, to the users desires and needs [25]. The
environment actuators are controlled proactively, so that the system can always anticipate the
users requirements. In this way, the user would not need to bother with equipment control.
4. CONCLUSION
Smart home system is used to monitor object/human remotely. Different kinds of sensors like
temperature, gas, light, ect., are used in smart home. Recommended home network is ZigBee
IEEE 802.15.4 because of its low power consumption. Internet, GSM, Mobile Network are
use as an external home access network. Using embedded concept any device can be used as
a gateway. Digital lock is used as a gateway. Smart phone can play dynamic roll as gateway
as well as external home network.
People who are elderly or disabled benefit the most from a smart home system. These
systems help people those who are less mobile, or in delicate health, the opportunity to be
independent, rather than staying in an assisted living facility. In this paper, the comparative
study of different smart home system has been discussed. Since the smart home systems are
application specific, no particular system can be considered better than other. Future
perspectives of this work are focused towards developing an energy efficient smart home
system.
