The research and development of smart home technologies and its application grow rapidly.Discussing about the smart home and its technologies takes us to discuss also about the residential gateway, which will be depicted in this paper as the central point for the i ntelligent building as the access gateway of every applied home devices, technologies and protocols.This residential gateway will act as entrances for the personal area networks to connect other personal area networks or local area networks through the interconnecting infrastructures.And then by the home networks there is a crucial question, how does a device know the services or resources, which is available on his environment.The objective of this paper is to develop a service discovery mechanism for the network so it can provide service information such as service availability for the requesting device.
