3                                     Unleashing the potential of the Internet of Things

            In  line  with  [ITU-T  Y.2240],  the  MOC  capabilities  also  interact  with  NGN  capabilities
            [ITU-T Y.2201], IT capabilities or Internet capabilities.
            NOTE  1  –  The  MOC  capabilities  in  the  NGN  domain  are  positioned  inside  the  NGN  service  stratum
            [ITU-T Y.2012].
            NOTE  2  –  Other  [ITU-T  Y.2240]  capabilities  are  not  precluded  to  be  part  of,  or  adapted  as,  MOC
            capabilities in the NGN domain as shown in Figure 11-2.

            11.2.1  Accounting and charging

            This capability supports accounting and charging modes and mechanisms for MOC applications,
            including:
            –       support of revenue sharing among the various actors involved in the MOC ecosystem
            –       support of event-based online or offline charging in the MOC ecosystem.
            For further details on this capability see [ITU-T Y.2240].

            11.2.2  Access control

            This  capability  performs  authentication  and  authorization  of  MOC  applications  before  allowing
            them to access a specific set of capabilities. The access control capability provides translation of
            application programming interfaces (APIs) and protocols across different service interfaces as well
            as access from applications to functionalities exposed by MOC capabilities.
            For further details on this capability see [ITU-T Y.2240].

            11.2.3  Service dispatcher

            This  capability provides  unified message  routing  and message exchange mechanisms  among the
            MOC capabilities in the NGN domain.

            The service dispatcher also provides API and protocol transformation from MOC applications to
            common message structure and business event handling and vice versa.

            For further details on this capability see [ITU-T Y.2240].
