3.1 Definitions

For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in oneM2M TS-0011 [1], oneM2M TS0002 [7] and the following apply:

Note

A term defined in the present document takes precedence over the definition of the same term, if any, in oneM2M TS-0011 [1] and oneM2M TS-0001 [2].

proximal IoT: IoT components communicating with each other directly in a local network using specific communication protocols and information models

Note

1: The notion of "proximal" is motivated by the fact that many of such IoT technologies are based on discovery and advertisement techniques that are designed to be used primarily in networks where all communicating entities are in close proximity with each other, In the current context "proximal" does not imply spatial proximity rather than being part of the same IoT network that is in general not using any oneM2M-defined-functionality.

Note

2: When not stated otherwise, entities in a Proximal IoT network are not aware of any oneM2M-defined functions or procedures.

proximal IoT interworking: exchange of information and exposure/consumption of services across the borders between entities designed for non-oneM2M-defined Proximal IoT technologies and oneM2M entities
