Abstract:
|
This project discusses home area networks in Smart Grid. A Home Area Network
plays a very important role in communication among various devices in a home.
There are multiple technologies that are in contention to be used to implement home
area networks. This project analyses various communication protocols in Home Area
Networks and their corressponding underlying standards in detail. The protocols and
standards covered in this project are ZigBee, Z-Wave, IEEE 802.15.4 and IEEE
802.11. Only wireless protocols have been discussed and evaluated. Various security
threats present in the protocols mentioned above along with the counter measures to
most of the threats have been discussed as well. Some of the threats where the counter
measures are inadequate have been identified as potential areas of research. |
