OMA TP Workshop on Home Environment Services- Honolulu 2011

Content

Introduction

• We all hear buzzwords or expressions– Internet for everything– All-IP services– Enhancement of home networks services– M2M services– Connectivity of home electronics between each other and with other

devices outside home etc– Need to run across different devices and networks

• All these buzzwords and expressions in one way or the other lead to a concept known as ‘Home Environment Services’

• One OMA enabler that can leverage other existing enablers and offer these home-based services is CPNS


• OMA CPNS enables universal access to services across a convergence of Personal Networks and Wide Area Networks/Cellular Networks.

• OMA CPNS facilitates the service provision between two different networks that can be interconnected by means of a Personal Network Gateway (PN GW) using a variety of mobile and fixed devices.

What is CPNS?

OMA CPNS - Seoul 2010

Where does CPNS fit in the Home Environment?

Customers want their devices to work together any time, any place CPNS meets this customer

requirement CPNS provides the convergence

of these devices and appliances CPNS provides better

management of the device and service relationship

Figure 2: CPNS Goals

Figure 3: CPNS Capabilities


Operators

• Enables greater adoption of wireless data services by leveraging fixed network connected devices

• Enable cooperation among service providers interested in home/personal/M2M network services

• Allows operators to differentiate services and prevent or minimize the customer churn

• Expand service areas from cellular networks to various local networks (e.g. Home networks, Office networks)

Manufacturers

• Development of new products to leverage convergence of cellular and personal networks

• Enables expansion of product portfolio

• Fosters consumer/retailer confidence in reliable and high-quality products

• Improves vendor position in the market

Who are the main stakeholders of CPNS?


Service/Solution/Content Providers

• Opportunity to develop new applications for services targeted at specific devices

• Extends access to existing markets by leveraging convergence of cellular and fixed networks

• Enhancement of existing services and content distribution to end users

• Provides consumable content delivery to an increased number of devices once content is delivered to the CPNS server

Users

• Seamless access to content throughout their home

• Better user experience across mobiles and home electronic devices

• Ability to get more personalized traffic/services/entertainment

• Enjoy various converged network services independently from terminals, operators and manufacturers

Who benefits from CPNS? (cont.)


OMA CPNS has great potential in many areas, such as home

environment, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication, remote

personal networks etc., and is poised to help enable a wide variety of

interaction among the growing number of network connected devices and

services.

• From cars to home appliances, Internet-based services to viral content

distribution, OMA CPNS will greatly expand access capabilities to users, machines

and networks across the globe.

• OMA CPNS provides a wide range of functionality to support converged-network

services, including multimedia content delivery, end-to-end management of service

sessions, publication and discovery of services, and customization of service

characteristics based upon device capabilities.

OMA CPNS Use Cases – General


• An end user can watch high-quality movies on a big screen using a mobile device serving as a gateway between a movie-streaming server via Cellular network and home consumer electronic device via Wireless Personal Access Network technologies.

• The mobile phone or fixed gateway provides access to the global network for devices that only have local area connectivity (e.g. WiFi, Bluetooth).

OMA CPNS Use Cases – Multimedia Content Delivery


• With an OMA CPNS enabled mobile phone connected to both a non-cellular navigation device and an MP3 player with wireless personal access, a user can simultaneously request relevant traffic updates and navigation information while downloading music files.

• To provide multiple services simultaneously, OMA CPNS manages various factors such as the personal network setup, service profiles, device profiles, and usage statistics.

OMA CPNS Use Cases – Multimedia Content Delivery (cont.)


• OMA CPNS enables extension of Internet-based services to home appliances. This extension enables interaction with M2M services and applications.

• An end user can access in-home appliances from outside the home using CPNS connections between personal networks and the CPNS Server. This allows for remote control, monitoring and content delivery.

OMA CPNS Use Cases – In-Home Network


• OMA CPNS provides an extension for e-health scenarios. Using a PN GW, Health Sensors can access the CPNS server in the global network. This enables regular monitoring and simple daily care.

• Businesses such as hospitals and pharmacies can access information from monitoring devices attached to patients.• Other eHealth uses could allow parents to access health sensors for their

children remotely.

OMA CPNS Use Cases – eHealth


• CPNS Server: Is a functional entity that provides resources to CPNS entities either in response to requests or in a Push mode. In addition, it interacts with other external entities, such as Content Provider Servers for the purpose of service provisioning.

• Personal Network Gateway (PN GW): A functional entity that interconnects entities that reside in personal networks and wide area networks, instantiating a converged network that provides CPNS services.

• Personal Network Entity (PNE): A functional entity making up a Personal Network. It may be used either to consume or provide content and/or services, simultaneously or separately.

Figure 8: CPNS Architecture Diagram


OMA CPNS Architecture Diagram

• CPNS Entity Discovery & Personal Network Registration

Performs the discovery of operational modes and registration of PNs

• Service/Content Delivery

Facilitates the delivery of content or services to and from the CPNS and external entities

• Device Capabilities

Delivers and manages the information about device capabilities, such as hardware, firmware and software

• Service Publication & Discovery

• Collection and Reporting of Usage Statistics

Informs the content selection process


Functional Modules

• Service Group Management

Manages service groups as a set of PNEs sharing the same service and content that stretches over multiple personal networks

• PN Management

Manages personal networks and updates PN inventory

• Security

Provides the security required for CPNS when the required level of security is not provided by the underlying technology

• Status Management

Manages the status and status information of CPNS entities, such as presence information of PNE and PN GW -- online, offline, busy etc.

• Non-CPNS Device Proxy

Facilitates interaction between non-CPNS and CPNS devices


Functional Modules (cont.)

• Market share of smart phones which can serve as a PN GW will increase gradually. With this trend, the interoperable services between smart phone and consumer electronic devices will become popular in both home and personal networks.

• Data traffic on smart phones will continue to increase. Applications and content for these smart phones will expand their target markets. With these innovations, OMA CPNS is poised to have great impact and relevance in the growing markets.

Figure 9: Market Trends for Data traffic


Market trends and main drivers for CPNS takeoff

• OMA CPNS enables full convergence between Cellular/WAN and Home Electronic Devices

• OMA CPNS achieves better management of the device and service relationship

• OMA CPNS facilitates seamless integration of IP and non-IP networks

• Increasing demand for home network multimedia content will be the primary driver for CPNS

• OMA CPNS working group will closely collaborate with other standards organizations to enhance the co-existence between similar technologies, such as M2M and DLNA/UPnP

• OMA and ETSI M2M are already collaborating on CPNS and ETSI M2M considers CPNS as one of the enablers to be used for M2M

• OMA CPNS complements and can co-exist with M2M

• CPNS can also co-exists with DLNA and can make use of DLNA

• In particular, CPNS plays a key role when it comes to interaction with mobile handset and non-CPNS proxy
