Standby Power Control Architecture in Context-Aware Home Networks

Standby power is the energy consumed by appliances when they are not performing their main functions or when they are switched off. In this paper, we propose a Host-Agent based standby power control architecture in context-aware home network. The proposed architecture uses the IEEE 802.15.4 based ZigBee protocol between Host and Agent for communication and security. We have made an experiment on according to various context-aware scenarios using the implemented prototype devices.
