Problems solved by technology

In many situations where the server device 20 will handle thousands or even millions of client devices 10, the process of registering and renewing the registration can be very time consuming and expensive
[0021] Additionally, managing a large number of client devices10 1 to n It can be a difficult task for the administrator (or administrators) of the server device 20, for example, when it is necessary to keep track of client devices 10 joining or leaving the network.

Embodiment Construction

[0043] The following embodiments present solutions for managing client devices (e.g., machine-to-machine (M2M) type devices), specifically, in the form of, for example, the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) Device Management (DM) lightweight protocol (OMA An extended form of -DM LW) to manage groups of client devices. As will be described in more detail below, embodiments of the present invention introduce a new group object and a relay module for providing group management to client devices using the new group object.

[0044] In the following embodiments, the term "server device" is intended to cover any form of server, including a lightweight machine-to-machine server (LWM2M server). Likewise, the term "client device" is intended to cover any form of client device, including lightweight machine-to-machine clients (LWM2M clients).

Abstract

A relay module (30) for use in a lightweight machine-to-machine (LWM2M) communication network includes: a first interface module (31) for interfacing with one or more server devices; A second interface module (33) for interfacing a plurality of client devices. The processing unit (35) is adapted to establish at least one group object instance, wherein each group object instance is used to control communication between a server device and a group of client devices.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to managing client devices, such as machine-to-machine (M2M) type devices, and more particularly, to methods and apparatus for managing groups of M2M type devices. Background technique [0002] Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) is a dedicated network transport protocol designed for constrained nodes and machine-to-machine (M2M) applications in constrained networks. In this context, the term "constraint" refers to the limitations of CPU, memory and power resources inherent in devices intended for use in the Internet of Things (IoT). CoAP provides a request-response based architecture between endpoints, where communication typically takes place between a CoAP server and one or more CoAP clients via User Datagram Protocol (UDP). [0003] CoAP is designed to easily work with Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to integrate with current networks while adding features such as multicast support, extremely low ove...
