Summary

Recommendation ITU-T Y.3043 describes the framework of context awareness for smart ubiquitous networks (SUN). It also addresses the concept of context awareness as a key capability of SUN. It further specifies requirements based on key characteristics of context awareness. In addition, key functionalities to support context awareness including architectural model and related context awareness mechanisms are also identified. For a better understanding of context awareness for SUN, relevant use cases are described in Appendix II.
