Summary

Recommendation ITU-T Y.2061 provides an overview of machine-oriented communication (MOC) applications in the next generation network (NGN) environment. This includes the description of an MOC ecosystem, the characteristics of MOC and some relevant use cases. By analysing the service requirements of MOC applications, it specifies the requirements for NGN capabilities and the requirements of MOC-device domain capabilities based on these service requirements. Furthermore, this Recommendation provides a reference framework for MOC capabilities.
