A Smart Gateway Architecture for Improving Efficiency of Home Network Applications
Table 1
The comparison between the traditional gateway and the IAGW.
| ID | Characteristic | Conventional gateways [2, 3, 8ā10] | IAGW |
| 1 | Multi-interface | Mainly support ZigBee radio and have poor expansion | Using the stack hardware structure, it supports ZigBee, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth radio and is easy to expand |
| 2 | Secondary development ability | Need a large amount of work | New development workload is relatively small |
| 3 | Communication link monitoring | Need to add custom development | Automatic support after system development |
| 4 | System openness | Based on terminal development, all interfaces are private | The interfaces are standard and the openness and source utilization of the system are enhanced |
