8.5 Service requirements of a platform provider

The following platform provider requirements are essential for the support of EHM services.
1) In addition to IoT common service capabilities, the platform provider needs to provide
EHM dedicated service capabilities for EHM services.
2) The platform provider needs support for EHM service information sharing.
3) The platform provider needs support for data storage of EHM service information, e.g., to
ensure EHM service information is not lost or inconsistent.
4) The platform provider needs support for the collection of fault information from devices,
networks, service support platforms and applications to give verdict on whether the root of
an accident comes from the service support platform.

5) The platform provider needs support for time synchronization for EHM devices, service
support platforms and application servers.

8.6 Service requirements of an EHM application provider
8.6.1 EHM application provider's essential requirements

The following EHM application provider requirements are essential for the support of EHM
services.
1) The EHM application provider needs support for EHM service information sharing.

4) The EHM application provider needs support for registration management of an EHM
customer's devices.

5) The EHM application provider needs support for distinguishing the accuracy of the EHM
data collected by the EHM devices.

6) The EHM application provider needs support for time synchronization of the EHM data
provided to EHM applications by EHM devices.

8.6.2 EHM application provider's essential but not EHM specific requirements
The following EHM application provider requirements are essential for the support of EHM
services but are not specific to EHM services.
1) The EHM application provider needs support for the upgrade of software/firmware hosted
in EHM devices.
2) The EHM application provider needs support for flexible accounting from the network
provider and/or platform provider.
3) The EHM application provider needs support for EHM service access which is independent
of the EHM application's location, i.e., EHM applications need to be accessed by EHM
customers continuously no matter where the EHM applications are located.
4) The EHM application provider needs support for network switching mechanisms in order to
be able to change the network provider to which applications can subscribe.
5) The EHM application provider needs support for getting the location information of EHM
