Abstract
In order to guarantee interoperability among home network appliances and devices using heterogeneous network technologies and different applications, alliances of worldwide major companies developed and commercialized home network middlewares. Some of them were already published as international standards, and some are still in the standardization process. However, it finally causes another interoperable problem among these home network middlewares. In this paper, the architecture of a chip that can be used in a home gateway or each home network device to provide interoperability between two heterogeneous home network middlewares, is designed and proposed.
