Embodiment Construction

[0063] Aspects of the present invention provide an apparatus and method for configuring a device management bootstrap service address in a machine-to-machine (M2M) device. The present invention uses the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCPv6) of Internet Protocol version 6 to send the device management guidance service address to the M2M device.

[0064] The term "M2M device" as used herein shall be understood as any device configured or configurable to communicate with another device, server or system without human-machine interaction. For example, an M2M device may be a sensor of light, pressure, temperature, vibration or an actuator. M2M devices may form part of equipment such as vehicles, household appliances (including refrigerators, freezers or central heating systems) or user equipment (such as mobile phones, laptops, smartphones, wireless communication devices).

[0065] As mentioned above, aspects of the present invention utilize DHCPv6 in order to configure dev...

Abstract

A gateway is provided for configuring a device management bootstrapping service address in a machine-to-machine, M2M, device. The gateway is configured to send a request to a dynamic host configuration protocol for internet protocol version six, DHCPv6, server for identity association for prefix delegation, IA_PD. The gateway is further configured to receive a response from the DHCPv6 server comprising at least one prefix of an Internet Protocol for version 6, IPv6, address assigned to the gateway. Additionally, the gateway is configured to receive a device management bootstrapping service address from a node. This node may be the DHCPv6 server.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for configuring a machine-to-machine (M2M) device. The invention also relates to a server and an M2M device and to a computer program configured to carry out the method for configuring the M2M device. Background technique [0002] The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of physical smart objects, such as sensors, that exchange information with other sensors, devices, or servers without human-machine interaction. Therefore, these devices are sometimes referred to as machine-to-machine (M2M) devices. Some examples of services in the IoT include built-in sensors in cars or homes, heart monitoring implants, or smart thermostat systems. Many new protocols have been developed after the introduction of the Internet of Things (IoT), including Lightweight Machine-to-Machine Protocol (LWM2M) and Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP), both of which are lightweight and compact application protocols. [0003] M2M dev...
