9.2.3 Reliable application support capabilities
The reliable application support capabilities extend the application support capabilities of the IoT
basic capabilities specified in [ITU-T Y.4401], in order to provide reliable application support to the
IoT applications.
The reliable application support capabilities include the reliable programmable interface provision
capability, the reliable group management capability, the reliable time synchronization capability
and the reliable user management capability.
The reliable programmable interface provision capability enables the reliable service platform to
guarantee correct ways of providing or customizing services making use of existing capabilities
based on the IoT application requirements [C-3-1].
The reliable group management capability enables the reliable service platform to guarantee correct
ways of creating, modifying, deleting and querying IoT groups and of adding, modifying, deleting
and querying IoT group members based on the requirements of the IoT applications and predefined
rules [C-3-2].
The reliable time synchronization capability enables the reliable service platform to guarantee
correct ways of synchronizing the time among related functional components, in order to support
global or local time stamping for the IoT applications [C-3-3].
The reliable orchestration capability enables the reliable service platform, the reliable end-user
devices and the reliable IoT gateways to guarantee correct ways of coordinating service
provisioning based on the requirements of the IoT applications and predefined rules [C-3-4].
The reliable user management capability enables the reliable service platform to guarantee correct
ways of creating, querying, updating and deleting IoT user profiles and of authenticating,
authorizing, registering and auditing IoT users based on predefined rules [C-3-5].
In addition to the above capabilities, the application support operation acknowledgement capability
numbered as C-3-6 in [ITU-T Y.4401], is also part of reliable application support capabilities.
9.2.4 Reliable data management capabilities
The reliable data management capabilities extend the data management capabilities of the IoT basic
capabilities specified in [ITU-T Y.4401], in order to support reliable data management to the IoT
applications.
The reliable data management capabilities include the reliable data processing capability, the
reliable information exchange capability and the reliable autonomic data operation capability.
The reliable data processing capability enables the reliable IoT data server to guarantee trustable
results of data fusion and mining based on the IoT application requirements and predefined
rules [C-4-1].
The reliable information exchange capability enables the reliable IoT data server to guarantee
correct ways of sending data to or receiving data from external data sources, e.g., data centres and
data servers outside the IoT, based on the IoT application requirements and predefined rules
[C-4-2].
The reliable autonomic data operation capability enables the reliable IoT data server, the reliable
end-user devices and the reliable IoT gateways, to guarantee correct ways of automatically
collecting, aggregating, transferring, storing, analyzing data of things, as well as automatically
managing these data operations based on the IoT application requirements and predefined rules
[C-4-3].
