Research on the Structure of Next Generation Home Network

This paper has given the analysis to the technology of the existing home network and the typical product. It has summarized its localizations. And then, it has introduced the features of next generation network, especially IPv6 and broadband wireless technology, and brought forward the improved framework of home network facing NGN, which is the integration of copper wire supporting IPv6, broadband wireless and narrowband wireless. Then, it has established a test environment, analyzed the test environment briefly, introduced the typical function and structure of the integrated home network system based on the test environment, discussed some considerations on the hardware and software platform. In the end, this paper presented that we should use the broadband wireless technology integrated with the broadband copper technology and IPv6 protocol to establish the next generation home network.
