1 Extending the Internet of Things Gilles Privat Orange Labs Telecom ParisTech September 26, 2012

2 Outline Beyond the internet of digital things (devices, tags) Networks of sense-able and actionable things Drawing upon human s Things in context and smart spaces Reference architecture Application environments and examples, from home to building to city xiot as a new content source

3 Telco-style IoT : M2M Devices with SIM cards high-end sensors/actuators concentrators with capillary network links to low-end sensors Up to 3G, cellular networks fit poorly M2M requirements energy constraints for battery-powered devices latency

4 Blue-collar IoT Domain-specific networks BACnet LonWorks X10 CEBus CANbus emware ECHONET Fieldbus

5 IØ-style IoT Internet-Ø (MIT CBA) end-to-end modulation «slow bits» IP to leaf nodes de-layered network P2P

6 Tag-style IoT Supply chain and inventory management as canonical applications RFID, but also optical codes Linked to universal identification schemes (EPCGlobal, ucode, etc.)

7 Beyond digital things Identification in a digital naming scheme network address (IMSI, IP, MAC) tag ID has been implicitly considered mandatory for inclusion in the internet of things perimeter What if we dispensed with things digitization?

8 number of connected nodes Scaling up the Internet telnet, FTP WWW VoIP mobile Web mobile VoIP Internet of Devices Internet of Tags extended Internet of Things generations machine to machine people to people people to machine people people to people to machine people to people device to machine thing to device to machine early internet home internet mobile internet Internet of Things

9 Extending the internet of things through «thing to sensor» links

10 Extending the internet of things through «actuator to thing» links

11 When networks get physical: Internet of Things vs. Human Interfaces Internet of Things bringing physical things into the digital realm making the analog word more digital! Human Interfaces (ambient, tangible, contextual, implicit, disappearing ) enlarged & enriched, grounded in the physical environment making the digital word more analog, and more human physical/analog digital sensors actuators sensors networks & IT systems actuators

12 Information s to the physical world taking inspiration from human s should not enforce digitization best example : smart-space-based ambient s user is not required to "digitize himself, i.e. to wear or carry a transmitter device to be identified/recognized/located by the system "soft" contextual identification may be sufficient for the system Orange Labs Research & Development

13 Information s to the physical world, taking inspiration from robotics robots can interact with all kinds of unindentified a sensor network should have similar capabilities «things»

14 Smart space as outside-in robot sensors actuators

15 Sensing things to enroll them into the extended IoT Pattern recognition from multimodal sensor data Use multiple «weak» shared sensors Does not require the same complex processing as «rich» sensor data such as audio or video Coincidence of temporal events is key to detection of meaningful patterns Approximation by limited set of discrete base models

16 The sensed-actuated home

17 ICT devices extended Home IoT Service Platform wide-area network Home Gateway Sensors & actuators xhiot Box Non-ICT appliances Electrical energy sources & storage Building components Non-electrical appliances

18 Home Abstraction Layer as extended Home IoT Orange Labs - Research & Development - presentation title date

19 Generic reference architecture

20 Extended Home IoT Architecture Home Applications Virtualization & services Layer Thing Thing Thing Thing Thing Thing Thing Thing Home Abstraction Layer Room Room Room Room Room Room Room Room Interface to shared sensors & actuators titre de la présentation

21 Shared xiot-based information services for the home Principle beyond one-to-one device management and monitoring services providing common intermediate-level services on top of shared sensor/actuator & network infrastructure Shared things services state of physical appliances individual identity/presence/location of persons Shared "space services state of rooms room occupied, empty nature of activity going on in room status of persons aggregate state of home/building

22 The sensed-actuated building

23 Extended Building IoT Architecture Building Applications Shared Services entity entity network entity entity network entity entity network entity entity network Building Abstraction Layer space Room space Room space Room space Room existing building systems shared sensors & actuators

24 The sensed-actuated city Utility (

25 Relevant entities for city-scale extended IoT Things & mobile entities node of physical network electrical substation garbage container lamp posts, bus shelters, trafic lights, street signs cars pedestrians Relevant sub-spaces within metropolitan area street/road/highway compound/block of buildings neighborhood/district

27 Nested IoT extensions Orange Labs - Research & Development G. Privat

28 Shared xiot-based information services for cities Principle beyond one-to-one device management and monitoring services providing common intermediate-level services on top of shared sensor/actuator & network infrastructure Shared things services state of physical devices/appliances/items individual presence/location of persons, cars, buses, trucks, etc. Shared space services State of individual street, block, district and other city space space occupied/empty nature of activity going on in space Aggregate state for adjoining spaces

29 Extended IoT as a new content source: reversing the content provision/aggregation dilemma xiot is a boundless source of new content complements and de-bottlenecks existing media services content provision = owning and/or setting up sensors content aggregation = providing consolidated entity-level information to applications Applications are not interested in sensors and in raw data, they are interested in the entities that sensors sense IoT # media! in IoT there is more added value in content aggregation than in content provision! Aggregate and consolidate data into information at the level of xiot entities
