Abstract
Hoy en día los ordenadores personales desempeñan cada vez más actividades cotidianas, esto hace que los consumidores busquen soluciones de conectividad entre el ordenador personal y los productos de electrónica de consumo. El desarrollo de nuevas tecnologías y su interacción con las redes de datos, están propiciando el hecho de que los equipos interconectados en red, no sean otros que los que hoy pueblan las casas modernas: tostadoras, microondas, televisores, cadenas de música, sistemas de alarmas, termostatos, llaves de paso del gas o el agua, y más, sólo que ahora estos dispositivos cuentan con mecanismos de control más sofisticados que regulan su funcionamiento de manera automática e incluso remota. Estos dispositivos están teniendo un crecimiento considerable y una curva ascendente en sus aplicaciones que es imparable. En muchos entornos se habla ya de viviendas domóticas o inteligentes teniendo en cuenta múltiples versiones y matices. Paralelamente a este hecho, el éxito que han tenido las redes con arquitectura TCP/IP en el mundo (gracias a que es la tecnología por antonomasia de Internet), ha supuesto la proliferación de redes de banda ancha domésticas para el acceso a Internet. Esto último junto a la demanda de ubiquidad de múltiples ordenadores personales, telefonía móvil y dispositivos dentro del entorno domótico, están forzando la fusión de las tecnologías usadas para las redes de comunicaciones privadas (utilizadas solo para el entorno domótico) con puertas de enlace a Internet o pasarelas residenciales, debido a la tendencia que existe en un futuro de utilizar las redes de datos IP para conectar cualquier dispositivo electrónico. Estos elementos integradores, como son las pasarelas residenciales, facilitan precisamente la interconexión de estas plataformas en el hogar y a la vez permite su interconexión con el exterior, con redes públicas como Internet. Una de las iniciativas más aceptadas por los fabricantes y desarrolladores de software, como tecnología de integración, son los sistemas basados en OSGi (Open Service Gateway Initiative). Una de las tecnologías que hace posible la creación de un entorno domótico y que además se puede desplegar sobre redes IP, es la tecnología UPnP (Universal Plug and Play), tecnología en la que se basa este proyecto y que ofrece grandes expectativas para el concepto de “Hogar digital”. Con UPnP, la pasarela residencial es capaz de descubrir y registrar dinámicamente recursos y servicios dentro del entorno domótico. En este proyecto se ha desarrollado una extensión de la tecnología UPnP dentro de sistemas basados en OSGi, para comunicar dispositivos y servicios entre dos pasarelas residenciales a través de redes públicas como Internet. Se aborda por tanto la problemática que surge al intentar extender la tecnología UPnP a redes externas debido al direccionamiento unicast de Internet. Como resultado final de las simulaciones, el software implementado es capaz de instalarse en cualquier pasarela residencial basada en OSGi, y acceder a dispositivos y servicios dentro de la red privada que se interconecta a otra pasarela reciproca a través de Internet. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Nowadays the personal computers carry out more and more activities daily, this causes that the consumers look for solutions of connectivity between the personal computer and products of consumption electronics. The development of new technologies and its interaction with the data networks, are causing the fact that the equipment interconnected in network, is not other than those that today populates the modern houses: toasting, microwaves, televisions, chains of music, alarm systems, thermostats, stop cocks of the gas or the water, and more, only than now these devices count on control mechanisms more than sophisticated which regulate his operation of automatic and even remote way. These devices are having a considerable growth and an ascending curve in their applications that are unstoppable. In many environments are already talking about home automation or smart houses, taking into account multiple versions and nuances. Parallel to this fact, success that has had the networks with architecture TCP/IP in the world (thanks to the fact that it is the technology by excellence of Internet), has supposed the proliferation of domestic broadband networks for the access to Internet. This latest next to the demand of ubiquity of multiple PCs, mobile phones and devices within the environment automation, is forcing the fusion of the technologies used for the private communications networks (used only for the environment automation) with gateways to the Internet or residential gateways, to the trend in the future to use IP data networks to connect any electronic device. These integrating elements, such as residential gateways, indeed facilitate the interconnection of these platforms in the home and simultaneously it allows his interconnection with the outside, with public networks like Internet. One of the initiatives more accepted by the manufacturers and developer of software as technology integration systems are based on OSGi (Open Service Gateway Initiative). One of the technologies that enable the creation of an automation environment and also can be deployed over IP networks is the UPnP technology (Universal Plug and Play), technology that underlies this project and that offers great expectations for the concept of “Digital Home”. With UPnP, the residential gateway is able to discover and dynamically register resources and services within the automation environment. In this project an extension of the UPnP technology has been developed within OSGi-based systems, to communicate devices and services between two residential gateways to public networks like the Internet. It therefore addresses the problem that arises when trying to extend the UPnP technology to external networks due to the unicast address of the Internet. Like final result of the simulations, the deployed software can be installed in any OSGi-based residential gateway and access devices and services within the private network to another gateway interfaces between them through Internet.
