Abstract

The rapid adoption of the Matter protocol as a global standard for smart home appliances presents a significant opportunity to enhance the interoperability of IoT devices. Concurrently, FIWARE, a widely adopted smart city platform, facilitates seamless integration and management of diverse IoT devices through standardized data models and context management capabilities. However, integrating Matter-enabled devices with FIWARE remains a challenge due to differences in protocol architectures and data representations. This paper proposes a novel framework to bridge the Matter protocol and the FIWARE platform, enabling interworking between smart home appliances and smart city services. The proposed solution includes: (1) a data model and adaptive translation algorithm for mapping Matter device specifications to FIWARE Smart Data Models, (2) an IoT Agent to interface Matter devices with the FIWARE platform as FIWARE resources, and (3) a comprehensive evaluation using commercial and experimental Matter-enabled devices. This approach ensures seamless data exchange, enhances cross-domain interoperability, and supports the integration of Matter devices into smart city contexts. The results demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency of the integration, offering a scalable framework for leveraging low-cost Matter devices as assets within smart city platforms. This work contributes to advancing IoT interoperability and paves the way for innovative applications in smart homes and smart cities.

FIWARE IoT agent for Matter：面向智能家居设备融入FIWARE智慧城市平台

物联网协议作为智能家电的全球标准的迅速采用，为增强物联网设备的互操作性提供了一个重要的机会。同时，广泛采用的智慧城市平台FIWARE通过标准化的数据模型和上下文管理功能，促进了各种物联网设备的无缝集成和管理。然而，由于协议体系结构和数据表示的差异，将支持物质的设备与FIWARE集成仍然是一个挑战。本文提出了一个新的框架来桥接Matter协议和FIWARE平台，实现智能家电和智能城市服务之间的互联。提出的解决方案包括：(1)将物质设备规范映射到FIWARE智能数据模型的数据模型和自适应转换算法，(2)将物质设备与FIWARE平台作为FIWARE资源进行接口的物联网代理，以及(3)使用商用和实验性物质支持设备进行综合评估。这种方法确保了无缝的数据交换，增强了跨领域的互操作性，并支持将物质设备集成到智慧城市环境中。结果证明了集成的可行性和效率，为在智慧城市平台内利用低成本物质设备作为资产提供了可扩展的框架。这项工作有助于推进物联网互操作性，并为智能家居和智慧城市的创新应用铺平道路。

期刊介绍： Computer and Communications networks are key infrastructures of the information society with high socio-economic value as they contribute to the correct operations of many critical services (from healthcare to finance and transportation). Internet is the core of today''s computer-communication infrastructures. This has transformed the Internet, from a robust network for data transfer between computers, to a global, content-rich, communication and information system where contents are increasingly generated by the users, and distributed according to human social relations. Next-generation network technologies, architectures and protocols are therefore required to overcome the limitations of the legacy Internet and add new capabilities and services. The future Internet should be ubiquitous, secure, resilient, and closer to human communication paradigms. Computer Communications is a peer-reviewed international journal that publishes high-quality scientific articles (both theory and practice) and survey papers covering all aspects of future computer communication networks (on all layers, except the physical layer), with a special attention to the evolution of the Internet architecture, protocols, services, and applications.
