6 Unleashing the potential of the Internet of Things

The following clauses describe, respectively, these capabilities of the adaptable application support
model. These same capabilities are numbered and summarized in Annex B.
NOTE 3 – In the following clauses, the capability numbers, as shown in Annex B, are put between square
brackets "[ ]" and inserted at the end of the description of the corresponding capability.
8.2.1 Adaptable service provision capabilities

The following IoT basic capabilities specified in [ITU-T Y.4401] provide adaptable service support
abilities to IoT applications. They are part of the adaptable service provision capabilities of the IoT
adaptable application support model. These capabilities include:
− Semantic based service capability, numbered as C-1-2 in [ITU-T Y.4401];

− Autonomic service capability, numbered as C-1-5 in [ITU-T Y.4401];
− Location based and context-aware service capability, numbered as C-1-6 in
[ITU-T Y.4401]; and
− Adaptable service provision capability, numbered as C-1-11 in [ITU-T Y.4401].
In addition to the above capabilities, the following capabilities are part of the adaptable service
provision capabilities.
The adaptable service prioritization capability enables the adaptable service platform and the
adaptable IoT service controller to adjust services priorities, in order to adapt to differentiated
services requirements from the IoT applications based on predefined rules [B-1-1].
The adaptable service composition capability enables the adaptable service platform and the
adaptable service manager to adjust service creation or service customization based on the
requirements of the IoT applications and predefined rules [B-1-2].
The adaptable mobility service capability enables the adaptable service platform and the adaptable
service manager to adjust the mechanisms of remote service access, remote user authentication and
remote service execution based on predefined rules [B-1-3].
8.2.2 Adaptable communication capabilities

The following IoT basic capabilities specified in [ITU-T Y.4401] provide adaptable communication
abilities to IoT applications. They are part of the adaptable communication capabilities of the IoT
adaptable application support model. These capabilities include:

− Content-aware communication, numbered as C-2-13 in [ITU-T Y.4401];
− Location-based communication, numbered as C-2-14 in [ITU-T Y.4401]; and
− Adaptable networking, numbered as C-2-16 in [ITU-T Y.4401].

In addition to the above capabilities, the following capabilities are part of the adaptable
communication capabilities.

The adaptable event-based communication capability enables the adaptable service platform, the
adaptable end-user devices and the adaptable IoT gateways to adjust the events for initiating
communication based on predefined rules [B-2-1].

The adaptable quality of service enabling communication capability enables the adaptable network
controller, the adaptable end-user devices and the adaptable IoT gateways to adjust the mechanisms
according to current network status and predefined rules in order to guarantee the QoS required for
the delivery and processing of data (e.g., time-sensible data) [B-2-2].

8.2.3 Adaptable application support capabilities
In addition to exposing the capabilities to IoT applications from other functional groups of the
adaptable application support model, the following capabilities should be added in the adaptable
application support capabilities.
