2 Justification

The oneM2M WI-0037 Interworking with 3GPP Rel-13-15 MTC features (see oneM2M TR-0024) was the basis to initiate consideration of 3GPP TS 23.682 architecture interworking with oneM2M. WI-0058 further addresses 3GPP progress on low power wide area (LPWA) technologies for the Cellular IoT network. This WI will cover explicit operating procedures for oneM2M[^1] nodes hosted on Cellular IoT devices.

The GSM Association has created guidelines for efficient IoT device connectivity is GSMA TS.34. The oneM2M standard is well suited to implementing all the relevant recommendations described in GSMA TS34. In this WI we will describe the GSMA guidelines and provide one or more descriptions of oneM2M standard-based solutions that fulfill those GSMA requirements.

For example, as shown in this figure, the GSMA TS.34 architecture is well aligned with the oneM2M architecture.

Furthermore, GSMA TS.34 has organized the recommended requirements into categories that align with specific IoT Service Platform capabilities (oneM2M capabilities) as well as device capabilities (device management) and Mobile Network Capabilities (TS-0026 oneM2M interworking with 3GPP).
