Unleashing the potential of the Internet of Things 3

NOTE 1 – The MOC device profile information may include an MOC device identifier, MOC device type,
MOC device capabilities and MOC device location.
MOC applications have the following requirements:
1) MOC applications are recommended to use and manage standard device profiles for MOC
devices and gateways, including their registration and discovery.
NOTE 2 – Device profile management includes the creation of associations between MOC devices
(gateways) and service profiles.

8.10 Addressing and identification
There are two types of connection methods between MOC devices and MOC applications. MOC
devices may connect to MOC applications directly or via MOC gateways based on IP connectivity.
Different MOC devices may communicate with different MOC applications via a single MOC
gateway or via multiple gateways.
NOTE – The multiple gateways scenario allows the reduction of an MOC gateways' load and the growth of
the network access reliability.

MOC devices may support public or private IP addresses and may also support non-IP addresses
when they connect to the network via MOC gateways. MOC application servers and MOC devices
which are using public IP addresses should be able to communicate with other MOC devices which
are using private IP addresses.
The requirements of addressing and identification are as follows:

1) MOC applications are required to be able to operate with different types of MOC device
addressing schemes, e.g., IP addressing and non-IP addressing schemes.

2) MOC applications require the support of unique identification of MOC devices.
3) MOC applications require the support of unique identification of MOC groups (see
clause 8.12 for description of an MOC group).

4) MOC applications require the support of addressing mechanisms enabling communication
with MOC devices behind an MOC gateway.

5) MOC applications require the support of addressing mechanisms enabling communication
with MOC gateways.

6) MOC applications require the support of unique identification of MOC gateways.

8.11 Location-based support
Location data may be collected by MOC applications from MOC devices and gateways or from the
network. Types of location information include global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), latitude
or longitude data or cell identifier (CellID).
MOC applications have the following requirements:
1) MOC applications are required to be aware of the location of MOC devices. For example,
based on the location information of MOC devices, the MOC application could initiate a
service trigger to upgrade the firmware on the MOC devices within a certain area by the
broadcast or multicast method.
2) MOC applications are recommended to maintain and manage location information of both a
single MOC device and a set of MOC devices behind an MOC gateway.

3) MOC applications are recommended to maintain and manage different types of location
information.
