The Need For M2M/Smart Embedded Device
Communications Standards
  • The pervasive network of intelligent and
    connected devices is coming
  • The Internet of Things (source EC Commissioner
    Redding)
  • THE Smarter Planet (source IBM)
  • Grouping all under Machine-to-Machine (M2M)
    communications neglects recognition of the need
    for interoperable interfaces that enable
    intelligence gathering and associated action for
    different uses
  • Recognize market segments and industry verticals
  • With higher-level business intelligence and asset
    management applications
  • Requiring support for a variety of devices,
  • Allowing a variety of connectivity media
  • e.g., Smart buildings and power meters may be
    connected through the power transmission lines,
    WIFI, Wired or Wireless broadband services
  • Deliver event-based information reliably to a
    higher-level entity (in the Cloud)
  • Immense market opportunity for wired and wireless
    devices
  • Suggest Smart Embedded Device Communications
    may be a more encompassing category/label for
    this emerging HIS
  • Includes categories of Consumer Electronics and
    Telematic Devices, besides Autonomous M2M
  • Need standards For Smart Embedded Device
    Communications

Some PSOs have already recognized this need for
Standards
  • ETSIs M2M ad hoc group delivered Conclusions and
    Results to ETSI Board
  • ETSI/B69(08)29r1
  • Conclusions from ETSI Report
  • Many disjointed or vertical industry standardized
    solutions
  • No group looking at the end-to-end view
  • Nobody dealing with end-to-end interoperability
  • Need to interface different wireless sensor
    capillary networks with existing wide-area
    networks
  • Gateway and API standardization required
  • Operators need standardization to avoid
    implementing many vertical solutions
  • Operators currently developing value-added
    end-to-end solutions
  • Need an ETSI Technical Committee for M2M
    standardization
  • Proposal for ETSI TC M2M developed by ad-hoc
    group
  • Board requested to approve the creation of a TC
    M2M
  • Source ETSI input to TIA for the NNT

New ETSI TC M2METSI/B69(08)27
  • TC M2M shall have responsibility (copied from
    Draft ToR)
  • to collect and specify M2M requirements from
    relevant stakeholders
  • to develop and maintain an end-to-end overall
    high-level architecture for M2M
  • to identify gaps where existing standards do not
    fulfil the requirements and provide
    specifications and standards to fill these gaps,
    where existing standards bodies or groups are
    unable to do so
  • to provide the ETSI main centre of expertise in
    the area of M2M
  • to coordinate ETSIs M2M activity with that of
    other standardization groups and fora.
  • 13 ETSI Members supporting
  • Airbiquity Incorporated, Alcatel-Lucent,
    Cinterion, Cisco, France Telecom, Freescale,
    Gemalto, Orange SA, Telecom Italia, Telefonica,
    Telenor, Telit, Wavecom

Smart Embedded Device Communications Types Of
Devices - 1
  • Autonomous M2M Applications
  • These devices typically communicate autonomously
    with other machines connected to the Internet, or
    directly.
  • The device would typically be single-function
  • There will usually be no end-user interaction
    with the device itself
  • Would support monitoring, tracking, autonomous
    management, feedback/reporting
  • These devices will typically be stationary, not
    nomadic
  • Examples Industrial Automation, Smart Meters,
    Home automation controllers, Automated Meter
    Infrastructure, Security and Surveillance,
    Point-of-Sale machines, etc

Smart Embedded Device Communications Types Of
Devices - 2
  • Consumer Electronic (CE) Applications
  • These devices would communicate with application
    servers and other CE devices connected to the
    Internet through autonomous or user-initiated
    mechanisms.
  • These devices would perform multiple functions
    depending on the type of device.
  • There may be significant end-user interaction
    with the device itself.
  • These devices can be stationary and/or nomadic.
  • Examples Digital cameras, e-book readers,
    netbooks and tablet PCs, digital media players,
    and gaming devices. Special attention to
    Healthcare ICT devices

Smart Embedded Device Communications Types Of
Devices - 3
  • Telematic and Public Safety Applications
  • These devices will typically communicate with
    application servers connected to the Internet or
    emergency services personnel and first
    responders.
  • These devices would perform autonomous functions
    such as vehicle diagnostics, location tracking,
    or crash incident reporting, as well as
    user-initiated functions such as vehicle
    navigation, and concierge services.
  • There will be some end-user interaction with the
    device itself.
  • These devices will typically be nomadic
  • They may require support for inter-operator
    wireless roaming.
  • Examples Vehicle diagnostics, Navigation, and
    Asset Tracking

Smart Embedded Device Communications Standards
  • Like ETSI an interest in TIA for developing
    interoperability and interface standards for
    Smart Embedded Devices (SED)
  • Partitioning of wide array of market segments to
    manage standards definition
  • Healthcare monitoring, surveillance, industrial
    automation, telematics are the highest interest

11
Highlight of Current Activities
  • CDG and 3GPP2 TSG-C are developing specifications
    for embedded devices covering
  • Service Requirements
  • Wireless connectivity only
  • Reuse of existing air interfaces (cdma2000 1X
    data, 1XEV-DO data)
  • Position Location Requirements
  • Data Service Requirements
  • Security Aspects
  • Broader treatment of this area should include all
    applicable wireless and wired connectivity means

12
Key System Aspects
  • Combination of services (e.g., data, and LBS)
    that an application/device can potentially use
  • For common communications modules, various
    applications will utilize the embedded module
    differently
  • Best practices and considerations such as network
    loading, end-user throughput, and connection
    delays should be taken into account when
    implementing an application
  • Power Efficiency for Polled Devices, for Periodic
    Update Devices, for Continuous Monitoring Devices
  • Security architecture

13
Strategic Direction
  • TIA will be working with 3GPP2 and CDG to develop
    interoperability standards for Embedded Devices,
    encompassing Autonomous M2M, as well as Consumer
    Devices that operate with user interaction, also
    Telematics and Public Safety Devices
  • Collaboration needed with ITS, the Wireless
    Healthcare fora, the Energy Technology interest
    groups, the Smart Buildings modeling groups, the
    Smart Grid initiative, OPC (Open Connectivity in
    industrial automation http//www.opcfoundation.org
    / )

14
Challenges
  • Extremely broad scope of applicability, across
    many industry segments
  • To develop efficient protocols
  • Potential deployment numbers targeted in billions
  • Standards development to be driven by market
    opportunity
  • To remove/minimize fragmentation of standards
  • To reuse what works and is licensed (e.g., in
    wireless)
  • Standards development to be responsive to market
    needs
  • Not years

15
Next Steps/Actions
  • Begin specifying detailed North American
    requirements for higher priority industry
    segments, system architecture for standards
    development
  • Collaborate with other SDOs to avoid fractured
    ecosystems and disparate interfaces
  • Given the interest in at least two PSOs already,
    TIA and ETSI, should this be a HIS for GSC-15?

The Smart Embedded Device (SED)
Communications Requirements
  • The Smart Embedded Device becomes a point of
    convergence.
  • The Smart Embedded Device must be able to
    identify events from the set of data they collect
    and act on
  • The Smart Embedded Device must be able to respond
    to a query from the network and higher level
    systems regarding heath and status of the device.
  • The Smart Embedded Device must be able to provide
    native connectivity to the information processing
    points in the application stack
  • The Smart Embedded Devices allow the real time
    physical domain to communicate simply and
    natively with the higher level systems.

18
SED/M2M Operational Requirements Wireless
