2. M2M/IoT Definitions IoT IoT M2M (service layer) MTC M2M M2M IoT
A global network infrastructure, linking physical and virtual objects through the exploitation of data capture and communication capabilities
[EU FP7 CASAGRAS]
IoT
A global infrastructure for the information society, enabling advanced services by interconnecting (physical and virtual) things based on, existing and evolving, interoperable information and communication technologies [ITU-T Y.2060]
M2M (service layer)
Considered as a key enabler for IoT
MTC
A form of data communication which involves one or more entities that do not necessarily need human interaction
M2M
Communication between two or more entities that do not necessarily need any direct human intervention
M2M
Information exchange between a Subscriber station and a Server in the core network (through a base station) or between Subscriber station, which may be carried out without any human interaction [IEEE p]
IoT
a world-wide network of interconnected objects uniquely addressable, based on standard communication protocols

4. Focus Group on M2M Service Layer (1/2)
Many industries have been addressing M2M solutions and applications frequently requiring custom hardware/software, typically resulting in long time-to-market, high development costs and high operational expenses (work duplication, industry fragmentation)
FG M2M was established in 2012 with the key goal of study on requirements and specifications for a common M2M Service Layer:
Cost-efficient platform
Across IoT vertical markets [M2M technologies as a key enabler of the IoT]
Multi-vendor environment

5. Focus Group on M2M Service Layer (2/2)
FG M2M initial focus: e-health
FG M2M aims at including vertical market stakeholders not part of traditional ITU-T membership, such as World Health Organization (WHO) and e-health professionals, and at collaborating with M2M and e-health communities (research, academies, SDOs, fora, consortia)
Liaisons have been activated with M2M and e-health standardization efforts

6. FG M2M meeting plan Last meeting Planned meetings
16-19 July 2013, Bordeaux, France (hosted by e-Device)

Use cases and Service Models
WG2: Requirements and architectural framework of the M2M Service Layer
Preliminary understanding of M2M reference model and M2M Service Layer
Service and functional requirements of the M2M Service Layer common to support of different application domains as well as based on and specific to e-health use cases
M2M Service Layer architectural framework (capabilities, functional components, reference points)

8. FG M2M work program and structure (2/2)
WG3: API and protocols – activated on Jan 2013
Framework of APIs and protocols for M2M
APIs and protocols for specific M2M interfaces (focus on e-health)
Assumption: high reusability of existing specifications based on the analysis of existing APIs and protocols in order to support the identified requirements

9. FG M2M ongoing deliverables
