m2m communication
n m2m solutions are based on building blocks from the telecom, IT and electronics universe
n they often have to take into account legacy systems and must be designed for long life times
n additional complexity through multiplicity of network technologies involved, the varying requirements of the M2M applications and multitude of actors
n first difficulty: identify a common architecture
ETSI/M2M standards/MA 3,4dec 2007 – p 8 Orange Labs
m2m market
n market for technical solutions concerning M2M is very fragmented
n multitude of technical solutions and absence or fragmentation ofstandardization activities result in slow development of the market
n Standardization can be identified as a key enabler for the defragmentation and thus the development of the market

3M2M Communications :
Standardization Requirements
ETSI/M2M standards/MA 3,4dec 2007 – p 16 Orange Labs
M2M communication – introduction
n existing communication networks are already well standardized but not specifically with M2M applications in mind
n M2M solutions are based on multiple networks, e.g. fleet or container management using mobile and satellite networks
n Some applications require long-term visibility about availability in 10 to 15 years
n other particularities include absence of human users, diversity of applications and associated requirements
ETSI/M2M standards/MA 3,4dec 2007 – p 17 Orange Labs
M2M communication – standardization needs
n the interworking between capillary networks (e.g. Zigbee) and WANs (e.g. mobile networks)
n the addressing of machines and devices, independently of their current position in the M2M architecture and the communication network used
n adaptation of existing solutions to resource constraint devices (energy consumption, processing power, ….)
n network must be capable of providing service levels appropriate for a given M2M application (high priority vs. low priority transmission)
n scalability of networks to answer M2M needs
ETSI/M2M standards/MA 3,4dec 2007 – p 18 Orange Labs
M2M communication – existing activities into standards organizationsn 3GPP SA1 has started to identify specific network requirements for
M2Mn simplify charging for M2Mn addressing mechanisms for M2M: do machines require an MSISDN?n questions of Denial-of-Service and securityn SIM and subscription handingn etc.
n SensorLogic and BitXML propose (proprietary) protocols dedicated to M2M in an open-source environment
n ITU-T published a report on the "Internet of Things" and hosted a workshop on "Networked RFID" in 2007.
n EPC Global launched a call on ONS routing and naming

4Application layer – standardization requirements
ETSI/M2M standards/MA 3,4dec 2007 – p 20 Orange Labs
Application layer requirements
Other needs for standardization appear now for :n The Gateways with IP networksn Protocols for machine remote management (proprietary at
the moment)n Security / Identification / Protection / qOS

How to Unlock the Future ?
n Key Role of Telcos and Integrators : Vertical Partnerships with Industry Specific Playersn Fleet, Health (distant monitoring), Equipment Monitoring, Video
Monitoring , Home automation remote control…
n Why ? n To Make it Easy to Develop For All n Hide Network heterogeneity and complexity of historical
proprietary solutions
n Integrating M2M into he NGN (Next Generation Network)n Acceptability, Usages n qOSn Security, Trustability
ETSI/M2M standards/MA 3,4dec 2007 – p 23 Orange Labs
Axes of progressn Capillary Networks :
n Energy Savings Protocols for Capillary Networks n Develop Open Interfaces (APIs) with heterogeneous Access
Networks : Universal gateways n Propose Methods for Heterogeneous Networks Managementn End to End IP Networksn Integrate RFID communications
n M2M Applications : n Objects Namingn Addressing objectsn Defining semantic characteristics for the objects (list of parameters
defining the object independant of the context, and of the AccesNetwork)
ETSI/M2M standards/MA 3,4dec 2007 – p 24 Orange Labs
conclusion
n in order to defragment the market and make M2M progress, standardization is a key enabler
n however, standardization in the domain of M2M is very fragmented by vertical applications
n a global approach to M2M standardization seems the most appropriate way to tackle the issue
