6 Unleashing the potential of the Internet of Things

The configurable time synchronization capability enables the IoT applications to configure the
parameters for synchronizing the time among related functional components with different degrees
of reliability, in order to support global or local time stamping for applications based on the
different QoS requirements of the IoT applications [A-6-2].

The configurable orchestration capability enables the IoT applications to configure the parameters
for automatic coordination of service provisioning or device operations based on the requirements
of the IoT applications [A-6-3].

The configurable application support operation acknowledgement capability enables the IoT
applications to configure the parameters for acknowledging the correct operations requested by
applications in order to support reliable application operations in the IoT, based on the requirements
of the IoT applications [A-6-4].

7.2.7 Configurable management capabilities
The configurable management capabilities enhance the management capabilities of the IoT basic
capabilities specified in [ITU-T Y.4401], in order to enable IoT applications to configure the IoT
management capabilities based on their requirements.

The configurable management capabilities include the configurable redundant deployment
enablement capability, the configurable service integrity check capability, the configurable data
integrity check capability, the configurable device integrity check capability, the configurable
security integrity check capability and the configurable user profile integrity check capability.

The configurable redundant deployment enablement capability enables the IoT applications to
configure deployment of redundant functional components of the IoT in order to provide different
degrees of reliability required in communication, service provision and data management, based on
the requirements of the IoT applications [A-7-1].
The configurable service integrity check capability enables the IoT applications to configure the
parameters for checking the service lifetime, the available resources required to provide the service
in order to provide different degrees of availability in service provisioning, based on the
requirements of the IoT applications [A-7-2].
The configurable data integrity check capability enables the IoT applications to configure the
parameters for checking the data lifetime, the available attributes of the data and the consistency of
data in order to provide different degrees of availability in data management, based on the
requirements of the IoT applications [A-7-3].

The configurable device integrity check capability enables the IoT applications to configure the
parameters for checking the status of all device functions in order to provide different degrees of
availability of IoT devices, based on the requirements of the IoT applications [A-7-4].

The configurable security integrity check capability enables the IoT applications to configure the
parameters for checking the consistency of security policies deployed in all functional components
of the IoT in order to provide different degrees of availability in security and privacy protection
provisioning, based on the requirements of the IoT applications [A-7-5].
The configurable user profile integrity check capability enables the IoT applications to configure
the parameters for checking the lifetime, subscription, privacy protection and availability of services
subscribed by users in order to provide different degrees of availability in service provisioning and
privacy protection for users, based on the requirements of the IoT applications [A-7-6].
