Big data - Concept and application for telecommunications 5

1 Scope

This Recommendation provides specific requirements and capabilities of the IoT for big data.
This Recommendation complements the developments on common requirements of the IoT [ITU-T Y.4100]
and functional framework of the Internet of things (IoT) [ITU-T Y.2068] in terms of the specific requirements
and capabilities that the IoT is expected to support in order to address the challenges related to big data.
In order to enhance the IoT system for dealing with the big data challenges in the IoT environment, the big
data characteristics of IoT data and the IoT ecosystem from the IoT data point of view are investigated. From
the perspective of the IoT data roles, big data challenges in the IoT are described.
The requirements of the IoT for big data are specified addressing different IoT data operations in the IoT
which are impacted by big data. IoT data operations include data collection, data pre-processing, data
analysis, data transfer, data storage, data query and data visualization.

Building on the identified specific requirements of the IoT for big data, the capabilities of the IoT for big data
are then specified.
The scope of this Recommendation includes:
– Overview of big data in the IoT
– Requirements of the IoT for big data

– Capabilities of the IoT for big data
An IoT use case with big data characteristics is provided in Appendix I.
Details on relationships among IoT data roles, IoT business roles, IoT data operations and IoT components
are provided in Appendix II.
