Nomadic mobility between smart homes

Powerful, user-friendly mobile devices and cost-efficient wireless access technologies have lately changed the landscape for smart home environments to a large extent. Developments in the media landscape with large flat screens, new capturing devices, and large digital media libraries have also changed the way smart home environments are used. This paper presents and evaluates an architecture for nomadic mobility in such environments where end-users, by authenticating their terminals with a node in the home or visited environment using the infrastructure provided by the operator, easily can gain access to various types of resources at home while roaming to other people's home networks.
