IoT for cities
Introduction
oneM2M is a global partnership project founded in 2012 and constituted by 8 of the world's leading ICT standards development organizations, notably: ARIB (Japan), ATIS (United States), CCSA (China), ETSI (Europe), TIA (USA), TSDSI (India), TTA (Korea) and TTC (Japan). The organization's goal is to create a global technical standard for interoperability with respect to architecture, API specifications, security, and enrollment solutions for machine-to-machine and IoT technologies based on requirements contributed by its members.
The standardized specifications produced by oneM2M enable an ecosystem to support a wide range of applications and services, such as smart cities, smart grids, connected cars, home automation, public safety and healthcare.
oneM2M technology is eliminating fragmentation in the IoT world. Because it is independent of the connectivity technology or protocol used for transport, it is designed to be a long-term solution for IoT implementation.
Architecture
The oneM2M standard employs a simple horizontal platform architecture that conforms to a three-tier model comprising applications, services and networks. In the first of these layers, application entities (AEs) reside within individual device and sensor applications.[1] They provide a standardized interface for managing and interacting with applications. Common service entities (CSEs) play a similar role in the services layer that resides between the application layer and the network layer. The network layer ensures that devices, sensors, and applications can operate independently of the network.[2][3].
History
oneM2M was formed in July 2012 and consists of eight of the world's leading standards development organizations (SDOs), notably:[4].
• - ARIB") (Japan),.
• - ATIS") (United States),.
• - CCSA") (China),.
• - ETSI (Europe),.
• - TIA (USA),.
• - TSDSI") (India),.
• - TTA (Korea).
• - TTC") (Japan).[5].
These SDOs were joined by six industry forums, consortia or standardization bodies (Broadband Forum, CEN, CENELEC, GlobalPlatform, Next Generation M2M Consortium, OMA).
oneM2M began some of the first work on standardizing a common platform for Internet of Things (IoT) systems.[6] In 2018, South Korea's TTA reported on its cooperative efforts with the ITU to close standardization gaps by transposing the oneM2M standard to an ITU standard.[7].
