5 Unleashing the potential of the Internet of Things

8.5.5 Capabilities fulfilling the IoT manageability requirements

The capabilities fulfilling the IoT manageability requirements specified in [ITU-T Y.2066] include
managing devices, managing networks, managing services, managing data operations, managing
security operations, managing privacy protection, managing user operations, and plug and play
capabilities.
• The capability of managing devices involves the abilities of configuring, monitoring,
diagnosing and recovering devices of the IoT, and updating device software to enhance
capabilities of devices of the IoT [C-5-15].

• The capability of managing networks involves the abilities of configuring, monitoring,
accounting and charging, optimizing, diagnosing and recovering networks of the IoT
[ITU-T Y.2060], and updating network software to enhance capabilities of networks of the
IoT [C-5-16].
• The capability of managing services involves the abilities of describing, configuring,
monitoring, accounting and charging, optimizing, recovering, and updating services of the
IoT [C-5-17].
• The capability of managing data operations involves the abilities of configuring, monitoring,
accounting and charging, optimizing and recovering data operations, and updating software
related with data operations to enhance capabilities of the IoT [C-5-18].
• The capability of managing security operations involves the abilities of configuring,
monitoring, auditing, diagnosing and recovering security operations, and updating software
related with security operations to enhance capabilities of the IoT [C-5-19].
• The capability of managing privacy protection involves the abilities of configuring,
monitoring, auditing and recovering privacy protection, and updating software related with
privacy protection to enhance capabilities of the IoT [C-5-20].

• The capability of managing user operations involves the abilities of configuring, monitoring,
accounting and charging, optimizing, diagnosing and recovering operations of IoT users, and
updating software related with operations of IoT users to enhance capabilities of IoT
[C-5-21].
• Plug and play capability involves the abilities of automatic configuring, connecting and
activating devices of the IoT to enable on-the-fly semantic-based configuration and activation
of IoT devices [C-5-22].

8.6 Connectivity capabilities
The connectivity group includes identification-based connectivity, things' status notification device
mobility capability, and adaptable connectivity capabilities.
• The capability of identification-based connectivity involves the abilities of establishing the
connectivity based on the identification of things [C-6-1].
• The capability of things' status notification involves the abilities of automatic notification of
the status of things and its changes based on predefined rules [C-6-2].
• The capability of device mobility involves the abilities of keeping the connectivity with the
IoT when a device moves [C-6-3].
• The capability of adaptable connectivity involves the abilities of extending connectivity
configurations to enable connectivity of new types of devices to the IoT in order to be
adaptable to different device technologies [C-6-4].
