Abstract
In recent years, Zigbee becomes one of the most promising protocols for ubiquitous networking. So, it would be essential that residential gateways can effectively interoperate with Zigbee-enabled ubiquitous devices such as wireless sensors and digital appliances to provide ubiquitous home services. In this paper, I design and implement an effective architecture for dynamic integration of Zigbee devices into OSGi-based residential gateways, where ad hoc Zigbee devices are represented as device proxy services. And such proxy services can be automatically downloaded, installed and registered to the OSGi service registry by the dynamic device integration manager on the corresponding devices’ joining the Zigbee network. Thus, ubiquitous home service applications can discover proxy services for the required Zigbee devices, and access the devices with the common proxy service interfaces without concerning the specific device access protocols and libraries.
