forwards information to MOC end users automatically. The MOC application also supports
forwarding the information based on demand from MOC end users ("passive" information
delivery).

NOTE 3 – Not all of the above phases are necessary for the execution of all MOC applications. For
example, an MOC end user can send a request to a vehicle-related MOC application to turn on the
klaxon of the vehicle when he/she wants to find out his/her vehicle in a large parking area, and the
vehicle-related MOC application will turn on the vehicle klaxon after receiving the request. In this
example, data collection and data transportation from the MOC device (the vehicle) to the MOC
application are not executed.

6.3 MOC ecosystem
Figure 6-2 depicts business roles which are relevant in an MOC ecosystem, and their relationships.

The business roles identified in Figure 6-2 and their relationships are based on the IoT ecosystem
[ITU-T Y.2060] and adapted to the context of MOC.

Figure 6-2 – Business roles in an MOC ecosystem

Five key roles are identified: MOC application customer, network provider, MOC device provider,
MOC platform provider and MOC application provider.
• Network provider

In the context of this Recommendation, the network provider is the role that offers the NGN
capabilities as described in [ITU-T Y.2201].

The network provider has a business relationship with the MOC platform provider and the MOC
device providers.
NOTE 1 – An actor playing the role of network provider can also play the roles of MOC platform provider,
MOC device provider and MOC application provider.

• MOC application provider
The MOC application provider is the role providing functions in the MOC service domain. It
utilizes capabilities provided by the MOC platform provider in order to provide services to the
MOC application customer.

The MOC application provider has a business relationship with the MOC application customer and
the MOC platform provider.
NOTE 2 – An actor playing the role of MOC application provider can also play the role of MOC platform
provider.
• MOC device provider
The MOC device provider is responsible for providing functions in the MOC device domain. It
provides raw data or other necessary resources to the network provider and the MOC platform
provider according to the service logic.
