ITU-T Y.4453 (09/2016) i Recommendation ITU-T Y.4453 Adaptive software framework for Internet of things devices Summary Recommendation ITU-T Y.4453 addresses the concept of the adaptive software framework (ASF), identifies high-level requ
10、irements and provides a reference functional architecture for Internet of things (IoT) devices. The ASF is a framework to manage and control adaptive IoT applications in real-time and in a dynamic way and enables optimal quality of service (QoS) performance. The adaptive IoT application is an IoT ap
11、plication that changes performance by altering system resource allocation (e.g., the number of central processing unit (CPU) cores, graphics processing unit (GPU) utilization, network bandwidth, etc.). Therefore, the ASF can provide optimal working of applications on IoT devices. The ASF is based on
12、 the IoT reference model described in Recommendation ITU-T Y.4000.

ITU-T Y.4453 (09/2016) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of tel
14、ecommunications, 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 standardizing telec
15、ommunications 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 is covered by the p
16、rocedure 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 to indicate both a t
17、elecommunication 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 achieved when all o
18、f 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. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT

36、d and from which no deviation is permitted, if conformance to this Recommendation is to be claimed. The keywords “is recommended“ indicate a requirement which is recommended but which is not absolutely required. Thus, this requirement need not be present to claim conformance. 6 Overview of the adapt
37、ive software framework With the rapid development of Internet of things (IoT) technologies, a large number of different IoT devices are entering the market. Usually, these IoT devices have varying hardware and software capabilities; therefore typical IoT applications need to be modified or customize
38、d to meet these diverse capabilities. It is necessary to manage and control these IoT applications to address this issue. The adaptive software framework (ASF) can manage and control adaptive IoT applications in real-time and in a dynamic way to enable optimal QoS performance. A conceptual diagram o
39、f the ASF consists of the IoT application layer, the adaptive software framework layer and the system resource layer, as shown in Figure 6-1. The ASF layer exists between the application layer and the system resource layer. The ASF performs monitoring for application and system monitoring, applicati
40、on and system management and analysis and policy decision-making. Rec. ITU-T Y.4453 (09/2016) 3 Figure 6-1 A conceptual diagram of the ASF The ASF gets more meaningful values under the current IoT service, because it enables resource-limited IoT devices to achieve high performance and compatibility
41、over typical IoT systems. The ASF allows for the development of resource-managed IoT applications without a users control. Also, the ASF provides functionalities to monitor and control application/system resources for IoT service interoperability. These functionalities make it easy to extend existin
42、g IoT systems. The ASF enables developers to achieve high-performance, low power for applications. In addition, it can not only reduce typical software development complexity, but can also resolve the emerging complexities in diverse IoT applications and devices. 7 ASF features and high-level requir
43、ements This clause describes the ASF features in accordance with the IoT reference model illustrated in Figure 7-1, as given by ITU-T Y.4000 and high-level requirements of the ASF. 4 Rec. ITU-T Y.4453 (09/2016) Figure 7-1 IoT reference model per ITU-T Y.4000 7.1 ASF features 7.1.1 Application layer
44、The application layer considers adaptive IoT applications for the ASF. Internal adaptive IoT applications: The internal adaptive IoT application is an application that contains control codes. External adaptive IoT applications: The external adaptive IoT application is an application whose performanc
45、e can be changed by the ASF. 7.1.2 Service support and application support layer The service support and application support layer considers specific capabilities regarding application monitoring capabilities and policy managing capabilities for the ASF. Application monitoring capability: Monitors a
46、daptive IoT applications in real-time by monitoring their QoS. Policy decision capability: Controls system resources such as CPU, memory and network status and decides adaptive IoT applications control by using static/dynamic information regarding applications and system resources. 7.1.3 Network lay
47、er The ASF utilizes the network-related capabilities provided by the entities in the network layer. 7.1.4 Device layer The device layer considers two kinds of devices for the ASF, small scale devices and large scale devices. Small scale devices: Terminal-node type of devices that are dependent on la
48、rge scale devices, e.g., smart glasses. Large scale devices: Gateway devices and wired/wireless access point (AP) devices used in embedded and IoT devices, e.g., a set-top-box (STB). Rec. ITU-T Y.4453 (09/2016) 5 7.1.5 Management capabilities The management capabilities contain system information ma
49、naging capability for the ASF. The system information managing capability has generic and specific management features. This collects and manages system information and application information. System information consists of static/dynamic data regarding CPU, memory and network status. Application information also consists of static/dynamic data regarding an applications user requirements and the applications QoS. The system information managing capability includes managing heterogeneous/h
