ITU-T has identified context awareness as a keycapability for providing "smartness" in Smart Ubiquitous Networks (SUN). Based on standardization activity for SUN, this paper introduces context awareness for SUN, including functional model and operations as challenges for various networking capabilities using context awareness. It aims to stimulate the development of standards and urgent technical solutions through related research work for SUN as an early realization of Future Networks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
