The pervasive network of intelligent and connected devices is comingThe “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 applicationsRequiring 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 devicesSuggest “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

Some PSOs have already recognized this need for

StandardsETSI’s 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 solutionsNo group looking at the end-to-end viewNobody dealing with end-to-end interoperabilityNeed 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 groupBoard requested to approve the creation of a TC M2M

Source: ETSI input to TIA for the NNT


New ETSI TC M2M[ETSI/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 ETSI’s M2M activity with that of other standardization groups and fora.

Industry SegmentsFor Embedded Communications Modules

Autonomous M2M ApplicationsThese 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

Consumer Electronic (CE) ApplicationsThese 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




Telematic and Public Safety ApplicationsThese 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




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

Smart Embedded Device Communications Standards


CDG and 3GPP2 TSG-C are developing specifications for embedded devices covering:

Service RequirementsWireless connectivity onlyReuse of existing air interfaces (cdma2000® 1X data, 1XEV-DO data)

Position Location RequirementsData Service RequirementsSecurity Aspects

Broader treatment of this area should include all applicable wireless and wired connectivity means

Highlight of Current Activities


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 differentlyBest practices and considerations such as network loading, end-user throughput, and connection delays should be taken into account when implementing an applicationPower Efficiency for Polled Devices, for Periodic Update Devices, for Continuous Monitoring DevicesSecurity architecture

Key System Aspects


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/ )

Strategic Direction


Extremely broad scope of applicability, across many industry segmentsTo develop efficient protocols

Potential deployment numbers targeted in billions

Standards development to be driven by market opportunityTo remove/minimize fragmentation of standardsTo reuse what works and is licensed (e.g., in wireless)Standards development to be responsive to market needs

Not years

Challenges


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 interfacesGiven the interest in at least two PSOs already, TIA and ETSI, should this be a HIS for GSC-15?

Next Steps/Actions


Supplementary Slides


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.
