Abstract

Home networking technologies have been improving rapidly along with mobile device and network capabilities. This brings out new kind of requirements: ubiquitous access to and sharing devices located at home. But most of the home network frameworks, especially UPnP, have been designed providing no such feature. Even in cases that provide these features much is left to be desired in terms of usability, ease of use and security. So providing these features usually involve complex configurations and setups. This master thesis provides a new solution based on Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) network for UPnP based networks. It explores various requirements and presents existing solutions comparing against these requirements. It then presents a new solution that is based on standard XMPP protocols. It discusses how each of those requirements is mapped into various XMPP components. Finally the commerciability aspects of the solution are analyzed.
