Publication number: 20170311363Abstract: An M2M Server may be integrated into a 3GPP network. A network node, for example a Serving General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) Support Node (SGSN) may include a dedicated interface with a M2M server. The interface may be called a GM2M interface. The interface may be a logical interface internal to the network node. The node may receive subscriber data and control data, wherein the control data facilitates a network control procedure and the subscriber data identifies a device involved in the network control procedure. The node may determine that the device involved in the network control procedure is a machine to machine device based on the subscriber data. The node may also send the control data to a machine to machine server using a message sent via a dedicated interface with the machine to machine server.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2017Publication date: October 26, 2017Applicant: InterDigital Patent Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Paul L. Russell, JR., Ashish Gupta, Nicholas J. Podias, Ana Lucia A. Pinheiro, Jean-Louis Gauvreau, Rocco Di Girolamo, Guang Lu, Debjani Majumder

Publication number: 20170063931Abstract: An extensible policy-based service layer dynamic authorization framework can allow a service layer to determine whether or not to grant or deny a registrant access to a resource or service hosted by the service layer for which the registrant currently lacks the proper privileges to access. This method can also enable a service layer to dynamically update its statically configured authorization privileges (by leveraging its dynamic authorization results) such that future requests from the same registrant and to the same resource and service do not require dynamic authorization to be performed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2016Publication date: March 2, 2017Inventors: Dale N. Seed, Vinod Kumar Choyi, William Robert Flynn, Quang Ly, Donald A. Fleck, Richard P. Gorman, Nicholas J. Podias, Michael F. Starsinic, Hongkun Li, Zhuo Chen, Yogendra C. Shah, Shamim Akbar Rahman

Publication number: 20150055640Abstract: A method and apparatus for distributed services and data in a machine-to-machine (M2M) communication network are disclosed. A network server, an M2M gateway, and M2M devices include an M2M service capability layer for supporting M2M service capabilities, respectively. Reference points may be defined for interactions between network service capability layers, between gateway service capability layers, between a gateway service capability layer and a device service capability layer of an M2M device, between M2M device applications, and/or between a network, gateway, or device service capability layer and an M2M application. The network server may be split into a control server and a data server at a service capability layer to provide service capabilities for control functions and service capabilities for data functions, respectively.

Publication number: 20140105139Abstract: Systems and methods for integrating bandwidth management (BWM) equipment into a network in order to manage the use of bandwidth over multiple radio access technologies (RATs) relating to communications between a wireless transmit receive unit and a mobile core network (MCN). When integrating itself into the network, a BWM server may be placed between a MCN and an femto access point. In order for WTRUs to communicate with the MCN through the femto access point and a BWM server, a BWM server may need deep packet inspection capabilities.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2013Publication date: April 17, 2014Inventors: John L.

Publication number: 20140067902Abstract: A method and apparatus may use multiple URIs (MU) in a single request message for machine-to-machine (M2M) communication networks. Multiple single URI (SU)-type request messages may be received from an application client (e.g. a constrained application protocol (CoAP)/hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) client) at a (CoAP/HTTP) intermediary node. The multiple SU-type request messages may be aggregated into a single MU-type request message at the intermediary node, and the single MU-type request message may be transmitted to a (CoAP/HTTP) server. A multiple value (MV)-type response message may be received from the (CoAP/HTTP) server. The MV-type response message may be deaggregated into multiple single value (SV)-type response messages. The multiple SV-type response messages may be transmitted to the (CoAP/HTTP) client.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2013Publication date: March 6, 2014Applicant: INTERDIGITAL PATENT HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Chonggang Wang, Dale N.

Publication number: 20130336222Abstract: Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed to propagate announcement and de-announcement of a resource across one or more networks. A first entity, which may be a hosting service capability layer (SCL), may receive a request from an issuer to announce a resource. The first entity may create a representation of the resource. The representation may be referred to as an announced resource. The first entity may send an announce resource request to a second entity (e.g., an announced-to SCL), which may be registered with the first entity. The announce resource request may be sent over an mid interface. The first entity may receive a first response from the second entity over the mid interface indicating that the second entity created the announced resource.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2011Publication date: December 19, 2013Applicant: INTERDIGITAL PATENT HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Guang Lu, Rocco Di Girolamo, Paul L.

Publication number: 20130188515Abstract: Method and apparatus for supporting machine-to-machine (M2M) communications in a hierarchical network architecture including an M2M gateway are disclosed. An M2M entity, (such as M2M device, M2M gateway, or M2M network entity), may perform a service capability discovery procedure to discover an M2M service capability entity that may provide an M2M service capability, and register with the discovered M2M service capability entity. The address or identity of the service capability entity may be pre-configured or obtained from the dispatcher server. The M2M entity may indicate a support M2M service identifier and receive an identity or address of the M2M service capability entity mapping the service identifier. The gateway may advertise M2M service identifiers supported by the gateway so that the M2M device may access the gateway if there is a match. The address of M2M service capability entities may be obtained from the core network.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2011Publication date: July 25, 2013Applicant: INTERDIGITAL PATENT HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Ana Lucia Pinheiro, Rocco DiGirolamo, Jean-Louis Gauvreau, Nicholas J.

Publication number: 20110213871Abstract: A machine-to-machine (M2M) gateway (GW) includes reachability, addressing, and repository (RAR) capability. The GW maintains a local mapping table and local device application repository, performs data aggregation, address/name translation, provides event reporting and establishes GW reachability and wake-up time. The GW supports requests from M2M applications or other capabilities within the GW, and from a network and application (N&A) domain RAR. The GW may include an M2M device and M2M gateway management (MDGM) capability that receives management requests for an M2M device and functions as a network proxy. The MDGM accepts and processes requests from the N&A domain on behalf of the M2M device and performs management functions of the M2M device on behalf of the N&A domain. The MDGM may request the N&A domain for permission to interact with the M2M device, initiate an interaction for device management tasks with the M2M device, and report to the N&A domain.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2011Publication date: September 1, 2011Applicant: INTERDIGITAL PATENT HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Rocco DiGirolamo, Inhyok Cha, Paul L.
