10.3 Communication

Based on the requirements in clauses 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4, the following requirements apply to the MOC
gateway and MOC device's capabilities:

1) MOC gateways and MOC devices are required to be able to establish, maintain or release
communication resources according to the data communication needs.

2) MOC gateways are required to be able to select the proper routing paths between the traffic
originating endpoint (MOC devices or MOC application server) and the traffic receiving
endpoint (MOC devices or MOC application server) according to the application the MOC
device is associated with or vice versa.
3) MOC gateways are required to allow the setting and modification of granted/forbidden
network communication access time schedules and durations.
4) MOC gateways are required to support the following communication modes according to
the service requirements:

– any cast
– multicast
– broadcast.

5) MOC gateways are recommended to support communication with proprietary devices (e.g.,
devices with proprietary interfaces for inter-working with network entities).
6) MOC devices are required to go offline when no data transmission is required and then to
go into sleep mode according to the necessary policies.
NOTE – The transition to sleep mode can also be controlled by the network.

7) MOC devices can optionally support communication with the network according to the
following criteria: daily network traffic load, MOC device location, access time schedules
and durations.

10.4 QoS

Based on the requirements defined in clauses 8.2 and 8.13, the following requirements apply to the
MOC gateway and MOC device's capabilities:
1) MOC gateways and MOC devices are required to support the traffic control policy which
defines granted network communication access time schedules and durations.
2) MOC gateways and MOC devices are required to support QoS differentiation according to
different categories of traffic.
3) MOC gateways and MOC devices are required to provide performance measurement and
management.
4) MOC gateways and MOC devices are recommended to support application prioritization.

10.5 Remote management
Based on the requirements in clause 8.9.1, the following requirements apply to the MOC gateway
and MOC device's capabilities:
1) MOC gateways are required to act as a management proxy for MOC devices of the
connected MOC local network. This includes support of management requests from NGN
and local (to the MOC local network) firmware and software management.
2) MOC devices are required to support software and firmware management.
3) MOC gateways and MOC devices are required to support configuration management.
4) MOC gateways are required to support fault and performance data collection and storage.
