An approach to expose M2M services over OMA next generation service interface

Abstract

Context provisioning refers to the trend of gathering, transporting and processing context in order to promote context awareness in Future Internet services. Context awareness enables services to become adaptive, personalized, and accessible in dynamically changing environments. In various scenarios of Internet of things (IoT), connected objects shall be able to negotiate and adapt to their environment. Consequently, the context awareness is an essential feature for Machine-to-Machine (M2M) platforms in order to realize the IoT and enable the management of Context providers (connected objects) and Context information. This paper proposed an abstraction layer to interface ETSI compatible M2M platforms with NGSI Context Management standards interface. The aim of this approach is to promote M2M services adaptation to the ambient environment

The development of M2M standards for ubiquitous sensing service layer

“…In order to support the development of M2M applications and make the core assets and service capabilities available to 3rd party developers, the OpenMTC application enablement consists of a set of high-level abstraction Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), which hide internal system complexity, and allow the developer to focus on the implementation of the application logic. In addition, it supports the OMA NGSI 9 and 10 interfaces for context management on the gateway and the backend server [19]. The system supports either XML or JSON format for data representation.…”

Towards Standard M2M APIs for Cloud-based Telco Service Platforms

“…Based on the requirements previously described, we developed the M2M enablers and integrated it to our SDK for OpenMTC platform. The main concerns in the approach of developing M2M APIs was: the compatibility with main Standards in the M2M area, such as ETSI and OMA NGSI [22]; and independency from underlying technologies. Although the adaptation of APIs in developing Web services increases the portability, it does not ensure the interoperability.…”
