  • Patent number: 11159379
    Abstract: The application describes a computer-implemented apparatus that includes a non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon for assigning address space in a network. The apparatus also includes a processor, operably coupled to the non-transitory memory, configured to execute at least the instruction of receiving a solicitation from a router in the network. The processor is also configured to execute the instruction of replying to the solicitation with address space. The processor is also configured to execute the instruction of receiving a second solicitation from the router to register a new address. The processor is further configured to execute the instruction of determining if the new address is from a dedicated address space or a shared address space. The processor is even further configured to execute the instruction of sending a neighbor advertisement with the address registration to the router.

  • Publication number: 20210240719
    Abstract: A modular and distributed architecture for data stream processing and analysis is described to incorporate data stream analytics capabilities, called Data Stream Analytics Service (DSAS) in the IoT/M2M service layer. Each service layer node hosting DSAS can be split into two independent modules, Stream Forwarder and Stream Analytics Engine. Stream Forwarder is a light weight processing modules that can be responsible for data preprocessing and routing. Stream Analytics Engine is responsible for performing actual analytics on the data stream. Separating the two functionalities enables the service layer nodes to efficiently distribute stream analytics tasks across multiple nodes.

  • Patent number: 11064330
    Abstract: A Delay Indicator parameter is contained in CoAP messages to reflect delay tolerance information. The Delay Indicator is leveraged by CoAP Clients and CoAP Servers to improve their behavior such as entering sleep mode to save energy while not violating delay requirements. A timeout mechanism for CoAP Response is enabled by a RESPONSE_Timer based on the Delay Indicator in CoAP ACK. Cancellation of CoAP Requests is enabled by leveraging the delay tolerance information as indicated by Delay Indicator.

  • Publication number: 20210203579
    Abstract: Internet of Things (IoT) event objects can be tailored to specific device types and capabilities. An IoT event object can use a flexible definition of an event that can be reconfigured. An IoT event object allows for the ability to set different triggering conditions and priorities. Individual event definitions can be extended to create more complex events. A Notification Handler supports sending a request or command in response to an event that requires action.

  • Patent number: 11032685
    Abstract: Some services offered by M2M service layers will have contact information that will be used in order to interact with applications. For example, a service layer may need to send notification messages to an application. To do this, the service layer relies on stored contact information to know how to reach the application. If the device hosting the application moves and the application changes its contact information, then the contact information that is in the service layer is stale. As a result, these services will be inefficient, or in some cases, fail altogether. Embodiments described herein provide systems and methods to enable mechanisms to update stale contact information in M2M service layers.

  • Patent number: 10999380
    Abstract: Methods and procedures allow devices interwork with various types of service layers by updating the device to support the protocol of the M2M/IoT service layer that is being communicated with. Devices can coordinate/initiate download of a service layer API that is compatible with the service layer the device is attempting to use. A service layer can coordinate the autonomous update of a device with the proper service layer API which allows the device to then communicate and use services supported by the service layer component to the device. A service layer can detect a device or application lacking proper service layer functionality and can trigger a management entity to update the device or application with the service layer API required such that the device can then register to the service layer and use its services. A device or application can be customized or optimized to the service layer that it is registered to and using.

  • Patent number: 10979879
    Abstract: An M2M/IoT resource directory entity may discover and register to other resource directory entities by including criteria attributes in discovery broadcasts and then processing link and metadata that may be included in responses. The resource directory with registrations to other resource directories may service a client request by selecting other resources directories to query based on the request or a query criteria contained therein, and then process link and metadata in responses from the other resource directory entities to aggregate a response to the client. Directory-to-directory registrations may be facilitated via using hierarchical parent-child resource directory identifiers, a peer-to-peer identifier regime, or a combination of the two. Observe notifications may include indicia registrations states, e.g., via change and delete response codes.

  • Publication number: 20210084044
    Abstract: Embodiments concern a dynamic authorization framework. Security Classification Process (SCP) is the process of classifying raw data, information extracted from raw data, content or code from security-value perspective. Security Achievability Determination Process (SADP) is a process based on a SV/SC that has been assigned, the RHE may determine the Security Requirements and how the security requirements may be achieved. During the Security Achievability Listing Process (SALP), the RHE uploads onto the Resource Listing Entity (RLE) the URI of the resource, the SAM associated with the resource and optionally a digital certificate associated with the resource. During the SAM Assessment Process (SAMAP) process, a Client evaluates the security mechanisms that must be carried out in order to meet the SAM that was provided as part of the Discovery Process (DP). Based on the SAM obtained from the RLE, the Client may initiate a Security Achievability Enabling Process (SAEP).

  • Publication number: 20210084112
    Abstract: Profile based services and content can assist with the backward and forward compatibility of conventional service layers or the like.

  • Patent number: 10887394
    Abstract: A naming scheme for IoT Devices can address the problem that the existing naming schemes of the IoT devices do not support device discovery and group operation efficiently. An IoT Device Name Service (IDNS) can be in charge of how the device name is generated from the location and other context information; updated due to the location change or context variation; and discovered. The IoT Devices can be routed by their names using a Name Routing Protocol (NRP). With the name scheme and NRP, the IoT Devices do not need to implement the full protocol stack to enable the direct communication between them.
