PNW JTC1-SC41-285 ED1 Internet of Things (IoT) - Autonomous IoT object identification in connected home - Requirements and framework

Scope

This document specifies the following items for the autonomous IoT object identification.

– The requirements for object identification.

– The architecture, functional entities, and interfaces for object identification.

– The operation procedures for object identification

Purpose

Current approaches for the identification rely on pre-determined taxonomy and mapping devices into proper categories. Devices have to categorize themselves according to a taxonomy, and advertise to the network. When new types of devices emerge, a taxonomy has to be renewed and the devices are assigned new IDs. Various products have to pass certification processes in order to be qualified whether they have necessary resources and capabilities. As such, developments and certifications for advanced devices become more complex. While these types of identifications are unavoidable, a more flexible approach would be of great remedy. As a complement to existing solutions, in this document it is proposed to simplify the requirements imposed on devices and to adopt a server/cloud oriented procedure. It is proposed to observe data patterns that devices produce, in order to autonomously identify types and states of devices and users, and associate information among them.

By doing so, the need for detailed classification, standardization, and certification of device types is reduced; and devices are relieved from the burdens of identifying and advertising themselves.

The developments of heterogeneous IoT objects will be motivated and proliferate.

Devices and users will be guarded safely and securely from malicious attacks, hazards from malfunctions, or health-related critical issues
