The current service- and device discovery protocols are not platform- and network independent Therefore, proxy servers will be needed to extend the range of IP-based discovery protocols to non-IP domains. We developed an architecture of a proxy that enables UPnP devices and services to be discovered on the Bluetooth network and vice versa, and allows Bluetooth devices and UPnP control points to access and utilize services located on devices in the other network. We managed to keep all functionality needed for effective proxying running on a single device, e.g. the mobile phone or the Residential Gateway. © 2007 IEEE.
