IoT Services Platform: Functions and Requirements

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Internet of Things From Hype to Reality

Abstract

IoT Services Platform is considered the cornerstone of successful IoT solutions. It is responsible for many of the most challenging and complex tasks of the solution. The Services Platform automates the ability to deploy, configure, troubleshoot, secure, manage, and monitor IoT entities ranging from sensors to applications in terms of firmware installation, patching, debugging, and monitoring, just to name a few. This chapter defines the key requirements for a comprehensive IoT Services Platform based on latest industry standards.

Notes

  1. 1.

    (37.76724070774898, −122.37890839576721) are the GPS coordinates for a northern California area.

  2. 2.

    Yang is a tree-structured data modeling language (defined by IETF) used to model configuration and state data [6].

  3. 3.

    TR-069 uses a bidirectional SOAP/HTTP-based protocol which was originally used for remote management of end-user devices. It was published by the broadband forum and labeled CPE WAN Management Protocol (CWMP).

  4. 4.

    LWM2M (lightweight machine-to-machine) protocol is defined by the Open Mobile Alliance for M2M/IoT as an application layer communication protocol between a LWM2M server and a LWM2M client (located in a LWM2M Device).

  5. 5.

    Some researchers use the term QoS to refer to both QoS and GoS as defined above.

  6. 6.

    Alternatively, an authorization, authentication, and accounting (AAA) server may be used for device authorization.
