ITU-T Y.4115 (04/2017) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency

13、 in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to

14、 standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations

15、 is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness

16、to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is

17、 achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLE

ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, wheth

42、im conformance. 6 Introduction IoT devices for individual consumers, especially wearable devices (e.g., watches, glasses, headbands and belts), are accepted in the market and are becoming more and more popular. Usually, consumers use their device capability exposure (DCE) devices (e.g., smart phones

43、, tablets and home gateways) to manage IoT devices. There are two kinds of solutions for using DCE devices to manage IoT devices, vertical solutions and horizontal solutions. Rec. ITU-T Y.4115 (04/2017) 3 In vertical solutions, a device manufacturer is usually also an application vendor. When a devi

44、ce manufacturer launches a new IoT device (e.g., a smart watch) onto the market, it has to provide its own applications (for each of the target operating system (OS) platforms) that will allow consumers to access and manage devices through their DCE devices. In addition, in vertical solutions there

45、are many obstacles to one IoT application integrating the capabilities of different types of IoT devices at the same time. In horizontal solutions, IoT devices and relevant applications are separated. Device manufacturers launch IoT devices and provide relevant software proxies supporting open unifo

46、rm interfaces for the DCE devices. Based on the open standard interfaces, other application vendors can develop applications to access those of the IoT devices via the proxies. Therefore, horizontal solutions can overcome the disadvantages of the vertical solutions mentioned above. The IoT device ca

47、pability exposure (IoT DCE), a common integration middleware in DCE devices, uses one type of horizontal solution. The IoT DCE dynamically discovers, connects and accesses the IoT devices in an IoT area network, and exposes capabilities of the connected external IoT devices to upper IoT applications

48、 with standardized uniform interfaces. Using the uniform interfaces provided by the IoT DCE, the upper IoT applications in a DCE device can dynamically discover, subscribe and access the exposed capabilities of the IoT devices as published on the IoT DCE. Figure 6-1 Overview for IoT DCE The IoT DCE

49、in a DCE device (e.g., a smart phone) as shown in Figure 6-1, integrates the underlying device proxies through interfaces (e.g., I1 to Iy) provided by the manufacturers to interact with relevant IoT devices (e.g., the hairpin, belt, watches, glasses and shoes) respectively and provides uniform interfaces to upper IoT applications, with which the upper IoT applications can access the device capabilities of those IoT devices. 7 General characteristics of IoT DCE This clause describes the gene
