TIA TR-50 Scope (Chair: Jeffrey Smith, Numerex; Vice Chair: Jim Wert, ILS Technology)

Engineering Committee TR-50 Smart Device Communications is responsible for the development and maintenance of access agnostic interface standards for the monitoring and bi-directional communication of events and information between smart devices and other devices, applications or networks.

TR-50 will develop a Smart Device Communications framework that can operate over different underlying transport networks (wireless, wired, etc.) and can be adapted to a given transport network by means of an adaptation/convergence layer.

The TR-50 framework will make its functionality available to applications through a well-defined Application Programming Interface (API) that is agnostic to the vertical application domain (eHealth, Smart Grid, Industrial Automation, etc.)

TIA TR-50.1 Scope Requirements and Architecture

(Chair: Peter Nurse, Sigma Delta; Vice Chair: Mitch Tseng, Huawei)

Requirements shall be agnostic to the application (e.g. eHealth, Smart Grid, Industrial Automation, etc.), but shall reflect the requirements of the applications of interest. Examples of such publications include Use Cases and Stage-1 Descriptions.

System architecture shall be agnostic to the application, but shall reflect the requirements of the applications of interest, including their information models.

Data models requirements shall be agnostic to the application, but shall reflect the requirements of the applications of interest.

In its work, Subcommittee TR-50.1 shall take account of the following: Security (e.g., data content, authentication, signaling); End to End Performance and scalability of equipment and networks; and Device Management (incl. discovery and identity)

GSC Mandate

“Collaborate in planning future standards development to gain synergy and to reduce

duplication.”

2010: “The presence of the mainstream cellular communications and IT markets [at Connected World in June 2010 in Chicago, USA] signifies the transition of M2M from a niche and nascent collection of “science projects” to a fundamental development on the path of cellular/IT market growth and evolution,” Sam Lucero, ABI Research, July 13, 2010

Challenges Develop global coordination and collaboration among

the standards organizations to avoid overlaps and any confusion in M2M standardization (risk of fractured ecosystems and disparate interfaces)

Ensure standards allow flexibility to support the future array of M2M applications

Demonstrate, broadly and clearly, benefits of M2M standardization to all stakeholders

12

Next Steps/Actions (1)

Explore with GSC PSOs and Observer Organizations the critical importance of:

• Cooperation and collaboration among Standards Developing Organizations, fora, alliances and other consortia directly or indirectly related to M2M for minimizing, and possibly eliminating, overlapping M2M standardization efforts

• Establishing processes and structure for exchanging information, monitoring and harmonizing M2M global standardization effort

13

Next Steps/Actions (2) Explore with GSC PSOs and possibly

other organizations the need and practicality of establishing a GSC-sponsored M2M Standardization Task Force (MSTF) to facilitate global coordination and harmonization

Explore with GSC PSOs and possibly other organizations the need and practicality of identifying leadership (or prime responsibility) for well-defined and GSC-accepted critical components and features of the M2M value chain

Examples of such publications include Use Cases and Stage-1 Descriptions.

The development and maintenance of publications pertaining to system architecture. Such system architecture shall be agnostic to the application, but shall reflect the requirements of the applications of interest, including their information models. Such publications include, for example, description of the functional elements, definitions of relationships between functional elements, definitions of relationships between functional elements and elements external to the system, data flow diagrams, control flow diagrams, and definition of the application program program interface, State Diagrams and Stage-2 Descriptions.

The development and maintenance of publications pertaining to data models. Such requirements shall be agnostic to the application, but shall reflect the requirements of the applications of interest. Examples of such publications include Stage-3 Descriptions, XML schema.

In its work, Subcommittee TR-50.1 shall take account of the following: Security (e.g., data content, authentication, signaling); End to End Performance and scalability of equipment and networks; and Device Management (incl. discovery and identity)
