Access network assisted bootstrapping

Abstract

The Generic Bootstrapping Architecture is used in a method for assigning the bootstrapping transaction ID so that a machine-to-machine server or other device can locate and communicate with a bootstrapping server function. The bootstrapping server function assigns the bootstrapping transaction ID and updates a DNS server with an entry that maps the bootstrapping transaction ID to a network node IP Address.

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of priority to US Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 826,176, filed May 22, 2013, entitled "ACCESSNETWORKASSISTEDBOOTSTRAPPING," the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Background technique [0003] Machine-to-machine (M2M) technology allows devices to communicate with each other more directly using wired or wireless communication systems. M2M technology enables further realization of the Internet of Things (IoT) - a system of uniquely identifiable objects and virtual representations of such objects that communicate with each other and over a network such as the Internet. IoT can facilitate communication with even mundane everyday objects, such as products in a grocery store or home appliances, and thereby reduce costs and waste by improving knowledge of such objects. For example, a store may maintain very accurate inventory data by being able to communicate wit...
