11、 specialized agency 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
12、them with a view to 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 IT
13、U-T Recommendations 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 us
14、ed for conciseness 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 th
15、e Recommendation is 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
16、 any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Pro
17、perty Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, i

ITU-T Y.2238 (06/2015) Introduction An actualized convergence service for agriculture is expected to bring more efficiency and quality improvement in production, distribution and consumption of agricultural products with the aid of IT i
23、nformation processing and autonomous control technologies. However, there exist many difficulties to establish services and systems to actualize the convergence service in the agricultural field to cope with various problems such as time-varying weather changes, growth condition of farm products, an
24、d continual diseases or technical problems such as battery life and sensor malfunctions due to severe conditions. In addition, the gap of viewpoints between people engaged in farming and IT engineers may make it difficult to accomplish this mission. Therefore, it is appropriate to consider an actual
25、ized convergence service for agriculture, namely Smart Farming, as a solution to cope with anticipated problems. In addition, the aspect of network capabilities to support this convergence service, where various types of networks, such as NGN, Future Networks and legacy networks, could be applied sh
26、ould be considered. This Recommendation develops a reference model, defines service capabilities and identifies network capabilities required to support such services. Rec.

NOTE Con
32、text information may include where the user is, what resources (devices, access points, noise level, bandwidth, etc.) are near the user, at what time the user is moving, interaction history between person and objects, etc. According to specific applications, context information can be updated. 3.1.2
33、 object ITU-T Y.2002: An intrinsic representation of an entity that is described at an appropriate level of abstraction in terms of its attributes and functions. NOTE 1 An object is characterized by its behaviour. An object is distinct from any other object. An object interacts with its environment
34、including other objects at its interaction points. An object is informally said to perform functions and offer services (an object which makes a function available is said to offer a service). For modelling purposes, these functions and services are specified in terms of the behaviour of the object
35、and of its interfaces. An object can perform more than one function. A function can be performed by the cooperation of several objects. 2 Rec. ITU-T Y.2238 (06/2015) NOTE 2 Objects include terminal devices (e.g., used by a person to access the network such as mobile phones, personal computers, etc.)
36、, remote monitoring devices (e.g., cameras, sensors), information devices (e.g., content delivery server), products, contents, and resources. 3.1.3 ubiquitous networking ITU-T Y.2002: The ability for persons and/or devices to access services and communicate while minimizing technical restrictions re
37、garding where, when and how these services are accessed, in the context of the service(s) subscribed to. NOTE Although technical restrictions to access services and communicate may be minimized, other constraints such as regulatory, national, provider and environmental constraints may impose further
38、 restrictions. 3.2 Terms defined in this Recommendation This Recommendation defines the following terms: 3.2.1 agricultural consumer: The service role that ultimately purchases the final agricultural products from distributors or agricultural producers. 3.2.2 agricultural distributor: The service ro
39、le that distributes agricultural products supplied from agricultural producers through the distribution channel. 3.2.3 agricultural producer: The service role that actually produces agricultural products to be supplied to distributors or consumers. 3.2.4 Smart Farming based on networks: A service th
40、at uses networks to actualize a convergence service in the agricultural field to attain more efficiency and quality improvement and to cope with various problems. NOTE Problems may include such items as time-varying weather changes, growth condition of farm products, plant diseases, and technical pr
41、oblems, such as battery life and sensor malfunctions due to severe conditions. The service may overcome such problems with the aid of IT information processing and autonomous control technologies. 3.2.5 Smart Farming service provider: The service role that provides the requested Smart Farming servic
42、es, such as providing a portal or consulting based on data gathered from agricultural fields, to requesting users. 4 Abbreviations and acronyms This Recommendation uses the following abbreviations and acronyms: AAA Authentication, Authorization and Accounting API Application Programming Interface CC

45、hanges, growth condition of farm products, and continual diseases or technical problems, such as battery life, sensor malfunctions due to severe conditions, with the aid of information processing and autonomous control technologies of the information technology (IT) area. Smart Farming, based on net
46、works, needs to be considered on the basis of interactions between the entities that are tightly related to the agricultural field, i.e., agricultural producers, service providers, logistics agents, market distributors, customers and the telecommunications network that interconnects these, as shown
47、in Figure 1. Figure 1 Conceptual diagram of Smart Farming based on networks 6.2 General overview Smart Farming can run autonomously without human intervention with the cyclic procedures of Appendix I considering environments as shown in Appendix II when advanced technologies such as sensors, compute
48、rs or control systems are used. However, Smart Farming must also be capable of coping with unexpected events, such as product theft and reduction in revenues due to excess production. Hence, there is a need for capabilities to address these issues. Services, such as the following, which use networks
49、, could be developed to address such problems in the future environment: Farm products protection: a service that prevents the theft of agricultural products in farmlands, greenhouses or warehouses by humans and animals through surveillance, such as closed-circuit television (CCTV), infrared sensors or other sensors that are connected via networks to agricultural producers. 4 Rec.
