Wireless home gateway: Software-defined radio architecture and applications

Nowadays, wireless network in digital home is popular in academic and industrial areas. Digital home provides lots of convenience for our daily life. This paper introduces an applicable method of designing a wireless home gateway based on Software-Defined Radio to realize a household appliances control system. The home gateway by GNU Radio and Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) is adopted to build the system, which can receive multi-standard control signals and coordinate home appliances by Zigbee networking. Meanwhile, the system is practical and flexible through the extensible interface.
