Huawei & InterDigital Demonstrate Open-Standard, IoT-Platform Interoperability protocols; oneM2M handles these in a standardized manner that is also extendable to additional protocols as needs arise in the future. Huawei-InterDigital testbed focused on demonstrating the following: o Interworking between platforms belonging to two vendors. o Multiple devices/applications interworking to an IoT platform. o Distributed, multi-hop communication spanning network applications, cloud, gateways and devices. A foundational aspect of the oneM2M standard is its architecture which provides a way for different parties to collaborate on the basis of a common representation scheme and associated terminology. As Figure 1 Overview of oneM2M Architecture and Terminology From a use case perspective, testing focused on the following: illustrated in Figure 1, a representative IoT application involves the collection of data from a connected device or sensor (AE), which may pass via a gateway (MN-CSE), to an IoT platform (IN-CSE) and then onto an application (AE) that embodies some form of application logic (e.g. quality control, predictive analysis, etc.). Decision outcomes from the application logic might then trigger some form of remote device actuation (AE). o Interworking various types of sensor and actuator devices to the multi- vendor platform and making these sensors/actuators discoverable and usable by various types of applications. This shows the horizontal nature of the te stbed and how it can be easily applied to other use cases. Within the standard, the oneM2M architecture includes an extension that allows separate IoT environments to interact, e.g. IN-CSE#1 to IN-CSE#2 and IN- CSE#2 to AE#1, etc. The objectives of the Some of the key technologies showcased include: o Device and application registration (authentication + authorization). - 80 - March 2018
