© 2013 oneM2M Partners 3 Backgrounds Looking back at oneM2M Use Case, Requirements and LS (oneM2M -- 3GPP)

Concept & Benefits This mechanism allows a M2M service provider to take advantage of broadcasting/multicasting capability of underlying communication networks. It can suppress burst traffic in the communication network and provides a simple and cost-efficient way for the service provider to implement this neighbourhood alerting mechanism. This mechanism involves authentication, charging and specifying geographic areas (in appropriate underlying networks) to broadcast data. Interworking between a M2M service platform and underlying networks is required to address needs of a wide spectrum of applications. – Benefit; It could offer flexible and tailored services to each application. © 2013 oneM2M Partners 4

Use Case © 2013 oneM2M Partners 5 oneM2M-REQ R02 Leveraging Broadcasting/Multicasting Capability of Underlying Networks -- Case of Neighbourhood Alerting on Traffic Accident -- This contribution illustrates the case that an automotive telematics service provider alerts vehicles around where a traffic accident has just happened. The alerted vehicles could go slow or go another route to prevent the second accident and to avoid the expected traffic jam.

Requirements Approved oneM2M-TS-Requirements-V oneM2M Requirements Technical Specification – Requirements to be addressed © 2013 oneM2M Partners 6 Requirement IDDescriptionRelease OSR-037 The M2M System shall enable a M2M Application to request to send data, in a manner independent of the Underlying Network, to the M2M Applications of a group of M2M Devices and M2M Gateways in geographic areas that are specified by the M2M Application. OSR-051 Depending on availability of suitable interfaces provided by the Underlying Network the M2M System shall be able to request the Underlying Network to broadcast / multicast data to a group of M2M Devices in a specified area. OSR-052 The M2M System shall be able to select an appropriate Underlying Network to broadcast or multicast data depending on the network’s broadcast/multicast support and the connectivity supported by the targeted group of M2M Devices/Gateways.

Requirements Approved (Cont.) – The other relevant requirements © 2013 oneM2M Partners 7 Requirement IDDescriptionRelease OSR-006 The M2M System shall be able to reuse the services offered by underlying networks to M2M Applications and/or M2M Service Layer, by means of open access models (e.g. OMA, GSMA OneAPI framework). An example of available services is:  IP Multimedia communications  Messaging  Location  Charging and billing services  Device information and profiles  Configuration and management of devices  Triggering, monitoring of devices  Small data transmission  Group management The set of features or APIs to be supported depends on the M2M Service Capabilities and access to available APIs. OSR-029 The M2M system shall be able to support sending common command(s) to each actuator or sensor via a group. OSR-030 The M2M system shall be able to support the management (i.e. addition, removal, retrieval and update) of the membership of a group.

LS (OneM2M  3GPP) oneM2M-REQ R06 DRAFT LS on interfaces of oneM2M with Underlying Networks (Outgoing LS to 3GPP, Aug 2013) oneM2M-REQ R06 oneM2M considers it beneficial to establish an on-going collaborative exchange of information between oneM2M and 3GPP. Some of the features that oneM2M is working on that could require interworking with 3GPP Rel-12 and Rel-13 are listed below: 1.An M2M Service provider may request broadcasting/multicasting to multiple devices in the Operator Network (e.g. addressing a group of devices within a specified area for broadcast/multicasting of identical M2M data). © 2013 oneM2M Partners 8

Service requirements for Machine-Type Communications (MTC); Stage 1 (3GPP TS ) 3GPP SA1 has defined the requirements below in TS – Group based addressing MTC Feature Group Based Addressing is intended for use with a MTC Group for which the network operator wants to optimize the message volume when many MTC Devices need to receive the same message. For the Group Based Addressing MTC Feature: - The network shall provide a mechanism to send a broadcast message within a particular geographic area, e.g. to wake up the MTC Devices that are members of that MTC Group; only MTC Devices of the target group configured to receive the broadcast message will recognize it. Note 1: The geographic area for the broadcast may be a cell sector, a cell or a group of cells. Note 2: Verification of receipt of a broadcast message is not necessary. © 2013 oneM2M Partners 24

Architecture in 3GPP SA2 (TR ) The following solution has been proposed in 3GPP SA2, described in TR – 8.1.3Solutions – Solution : Group based messaging using cell broadcast Sending a group message over the Tsp reference point – With this solution a group message is received by the MTC-IWF over the Tsp interface containing group identification, geographic information and group message information, optionally the applicable RATs, optionally the number of times and frequency/rate to broadcast the trigger/message. – Indiscriminate use of cell broadcast for group messaging could potentially cause a flood of signalling when high amounts of devices respond to the cell broadcast group message at (almost) the same time, which could cause problems for both the mobile network operator and the MTC application owner. To spread the responses of the triggered devices in time, a time window over which the responses should be randomized may be included in the group message.
