The connected home of tomorrow
The goal of the ACEMIND project is to enrich this initial concept with new features and services such as green network (the reduction of power consumption and the number of radio emission devices), packets load balancing or anomaly detection. Another target is to propose new products using new link-technologies, for instance Wi-Fi 802.11ah or LiFi (http:// www.lificonsortium.org/) for hybrid network. Then, with a user friendly GUI (Graphical User Interface) it will be possible to manage a large range of services such as energy management, HD videoconference or health care.
The ACEMIND project aims to demonstrate a user-friendly hybrid network based on such a convergence mechanism at layer 2.5, which is able to provide a wide range of services based on multimedia but also on sensor/actuator devices. In addition, ACEMIND will contribute to the increase of the robustness and coverage, to provide self-management capabilities and to improve remote management by network operators. For the reduction of power consumption and the number of radio emission devices, new routing protocol will be defined for this hybrid network.
