IEEE 1888-2011

The standard describes a remote control architecture of digital community, intelligent building groups, and digital metropolitan networks; specifies interactive data formats between devices and systems; and gives a standardized definition of equipment, service services, signals, and interactive messages in this digital community network. The digital community remote control network opens application interfaces for public administration, public services, property management services, and individual service services, which enables intelligent interconnection, collaboration service, remote surveillance, and central management to be feasible. Surveillance networks, consumer electronics, remote service systems, public administration systems, security linkage systems, and emergency reaction systems will be integrated into the community network seamlessly. Based on TCP/IP open systems, the network architecture adopts active and emerging technologies, supporting diverse access technologies in the physical layer, supporting IPv4/v6 in the network layer, and integrating well with the next generation converged networks. The standard aims to provide proper remote control and collaborating management solutions for operators, community administrators, public service providers, government departments, and individual users, so as to use and control facilities in community and building groups effectively, such as sensors, surveillance monitors, HVAC, lighting systems, fire-fighting systems, consumer electronics, and so on; The public environment monitor mechanism is set up to ease energy shortage and environment degradation through remote surveillance, operation, management, and maintenance, leaving a secure, comfortable, and convenient living environment. Energy, environment, and security are taken into consideration to realize reasonable plans and remote control in community networks. New IEEE Standard - Superseded. The standard describes remote control architecture of digital community, intelligent building groups, and digital metropolitan networks; specifies interactive data format between devices and systems; and gives a standardized generalization of equipment, data communication interface, and interactive message in this digital community network. The digital community remote control network opens interfaces for public administration, public service, property management service, and individual service, which enables intelligent interconnection, collaboration service, remote surveillance, and central management to be feasible.
