As future home appliances will have many useful built-in functions, a communication network that allows a user to access these built-in functions and to control the appliances is highly desirable. If the home appliances are fitted with a wireless communication module, a wireless ad hoc network can be used to easily connect the appliances. For ease of use the nodes are given names such as living room TV, kitchen oven etc. for identification. This paper proposes the use of counting bloom filter as a routing table for message routing in a name-based home ad hoc network and also discusses the performance of the proposed algorithms via simulation. Today most new household devices are fitted with technologies such as Wi-Fi, but there are some devices with different short range technologies such as Bluetooth or infrared. Smaller sensor like devices may be powered by a limited power source. If the Wi-Fi access point is at a distance, transmitting at high power will reduce the lifetime of devices that use limited power sources. It is possible that a single Wi-Fi access point may not cover the entire household due to obstacles such as walls. The dependence on central access point(s) also has the risk of entire (partial) network failure. The home environment may consist of various appliances with many different functions and capabilities. Hence the heterogeneity of the home appliances need to be considered when forming a network as the transmission distance, processing power and memory etc. of the appliances and sensors may vary. This paper proposes a futuristic home environment where wireless enabled household appliances and sensors are connected via an ad hoc network. Long-range networks such as Wi-Fi access points are also considered as being a part of the entire network. This network will enable users
