Abstract
The advent of the smart home, fueled by the rapid emergence of tiny embedded IoT devices and sensors, brings the consideration of space and location information to the forefront of service discovery. In a smart home environment, spaces often have composite capabilities and complex structures. Since residents may have varying preferences based on their location within different spaces, traditional service discovery results may be suboptimal without considering the spatial context. This paper introduces a seamless approach to integrate space and location information with mDNS/DNS-SD, a widely utilized service discovery protocol in home networks. We provide a formal specification for this approach, develop a prototype, and perform a series of experiments to evaluate the efficacy and potential of the proposed method.
