Abstract: Interworking LWM2M and OMA DM protocols is disclosed. A new DDF MO enables adding LWM2M object definitions to DM Servers and Gateways. This MO allows a DM Server/Gateway to accept newly defined MOs, such as LWM2M Object definitions. New procedures are defined for registering DDF documents to the newly created DDF MO. A new registration interface is added in the GwMO protocol to allow an LWM2M Server to register end devices to a DM gateway. A protocol translation mechanism bridges the gap between non-RESTful to RESTful protocols, such as OMA DM and/or GwMO to LWM2M.

Abstract: Service layer multicast communications management may be achieved via indication by entities of multicast capabilities during service layer registration and self-subscription by the entities to the service layer. The service layer, or a managing application in communication with the service layer, may then maintain resources for multicast configurations, dynamically create multicast groups, and notify members via their self-subscription of the entities in the groups. The service layer may then further fan-out multicast messages, thereby allowing the originator of the multicast message to access recipients in multiple underlying networks without the need to configure communications directly. Fan-out may include unicasts to entities lacking multicast capabilities. Self-subscription may also be used, for example, in granting access control to a third party application.

Abstract: A method and apparatus may be used for exchanging measurements in wireless communications. The apparatus may receive a request. The request may be a measurement request, and may include a request for a measurement of a parameter. The apparatus may transmit a report. The report may be a measurement report, and may include the requested measurement of a parameter. The apparatus may store the requested measurement of the parameter in a management information base (MIB).

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.

Abstract: Network entities may indicate and negotiate one or more new protocols for communications using a current protocol. Indications may include one or more protocols which are supported, one or more protocols which are preferred, and the level of desire of preferences. Indications may further include schedules of times during which certain protocols are supported and/or schedules of functions for which certain protocols are preferred. Indications may be evaluated and acted upon immediately or stored for future reference. Evaluation may include comparison of relative desire levels and needs of various entities. Protocols may be messaging protocols, transport protocols, or combinations thereof.

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.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed such that a network (e.g., a radio access network, RAN, node) may provide a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) with a service-based network access for a new service. The RAN node may comprise a receiver, a transmitter, and a processor operatively coupled to the receiver and the transmitter. The receiver may be configured to receive a request message from the WTRU. The request message may indicate service-based network access information. The processor may be configured to select a service node belonging to a core network based on information in the request message. The transmitter may be configured to send a response message to the WTRU. The response message may indicate accepted service-based network access information, wherein the accepted service-based network access information is associated with at least one public land mobile network (PLMN) identifier (ID).

Abstract: A method and wireless communication system may be used for transferring management information. An access point (AP) may transmit a management information base (MIB) information request including a category field and an action details field to a wireless transmit/receive (WTRU). In response to receiving the information request, the WTRU may determine whether or not to provide management information to the AP. When the WTRU provides management information to the AP, the WTRU may compile management information stored in a MIB located in the WTRU and transmit a MIB information report to the AP. The MIB may list a plurality of tables containing information associated with radio resource management (RRM) and at least one table containing physical layer measurements. The AP may include a MIB for storing MIB information of the WTRU. The AP may transmit the stored MIB information of the WTRU in response to a request.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed such that a WTRU may obtain network operator agnostic wireless access for a service. The WTRU may receive a system information (SI) broadcast from a radio access network (RAN) node. The SI broadcast may indicate that an operator of the RAN node supports service-based network access. The WTRU may send a service request to a virtual service provider to request the service. The WTRU may receive a service response from the virtual service provider. The WTRU may receive a service response from the virtual service provider, the service response indicating a mobile network operator (MNO) to use for obtaining the service and subscription information for accessing the MNO, wherein the MNO is different than the operator of the RAN node. The WTRU may access the MNO to obtain the service.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: An evolved resource directory may provide filtered and prioritized search results to a client's search query for resources. For example, in a network comprising servers and a resource directory, the resource directory registers a plurality of URIs received from the servers. The resource directory may determine an initial ranking of the plurality of URIs based on measuring cross-links between each of the plurality of URIs and identifying contexts of the plurality of URIs. The initial ranking is stored in a ranked database. In response to a client's search query, the resource directory may determine a real-time ranking for the plurality of URIs stored in the ranked database. The real-time ranking may be determined based on checking a sleep status for each of the servers and/or by partially balancing traffic loads of the servers. The resource directory, based on the real-time ranking and/or the initial ranking, may then generate a ranked list of the filtered and prioritized URIs.

For example, an application can communicate with a targeted device based on application specified schedule, latency, jitter, error rate, throughput, level of security, and cost requirements.
