The smart home system based on wireless sensor networks is a combination of technologies and services that improve the life in the areas of safety, comfort and technical management. In the smart home scenario, sensors, RFID, local positioning system and decisional algorithms are combined to achieve various functionalities in complete smart and autonomous system. The smart home goes beyond the stereotype of a homeowner who can check his house on a smartphone and verify the status of interior devices such as security alarm or heating system. In addition, wearable and no-contact healthcare devices can monitor resident blood pressure, heart rate and other metrics (posture, ECG, breathing) and transmit data to the resident smartphone as part of a medical tele-monitoring system. These indoor systems should work in millimeter-wave range to be compatible with future applications of millimeter-wave technology in wireless communications such as 5G platforms, especially information sharing of sensor networks and functional interplay among wireless functionalities.
