6 Broadband Forum Home Group Focus on Home Networking devices functionality, capability and connectivity. Proven scalable protocol solutions connecting the central office to customer premise. Enabling new services with recent Technical Reports. Strong interoperability track record, regular test events for its protocols since Consistent and growing liaison relationships with other SDOs (OMA, 3GPP, ETSI. etc) 6

7 Broadband Home Device Management TR-069 CPE Wan Management Protocol (CWMP) Industry leading device management solution. Evolving TR-069 family of extensive and modular manageable objects covering wide range of devices and functionality. Referenced by many industry bodies such as 3GPP, ATIS, ETSI and ITU-T. Approved as a European standard in 2010 by ETSI. Currently referenced in ETSI M2M architecture as a protocol for device management that runs over the mid reference point. Ongoing work between the Broadband Forum and ETSI M2M to develop new Object model work. Well over 70 Million devices connected. 7 Ratified by DSL (now Broadband) Forum in May 2004, amended in 2006 and 2007 and recent M2M driven amendments amendment 3 and 4 in 2011.

8 TR-069 Architectural Framework OSS/BSS Policy Scope of CPE WAN Management Protocol (CWMP): ACS Southbound Interface Managed LAN Device Call Center Auto-Configuration Server (ACS) ACS Northbound Interface Managed Internet Gateway Device Managed LAN Device Managed LAN Device Management Functions Bootstrap Service Provisioning Firmware and Software Module Management Diagnostics Fault and Performance Monitoring Large and growing set of defined object models 8

9 Software Module Management TR-069 amendment 3 ACS TR-069 Services Gateway CWMP Mgmt Agent manages Module manages manages manages Module Module Module Execution Environment Operating System, Drivers, HG Core Software Module Management to support embedded applications. Open design for mapping to multiple Execution environments (OSGi, OMA, etc). New RPC and Software Module Data Model support required.

10 Remote Management of non-tr-069 Devices TR-069 amendment 4 CWMP RPC to Proxy Service on TR-069 Device Local Protocol command to non-tr-069 Device ACS CWMP RPC Response TR-069 Proxying Managed Device Local Protocol Success Response Non-TR-069 Proxied Managed Device Proxy management agnostic to the local protocol UPnP DM/DLNA, Zwave, ZigBee etc. Layer 2 protocols (e.g. HomePlug OAM, etc.) Any proprietary local protocols known by the proxying device TR-069 accesses proxied devices through TR-069 embedded and virtual managed objects ACS sends management commands to proxying device TR-069 device converts TR-069 commands to local protocol Once proxied device has successfully executed commands, TR-069 device sends CWMP messages to ACS

11 Broadband forum M2M Next activities: Identify GAPs Critical for Service Delivery Continue work on current BBF specifications for Management Plane. New work started to incorporate ETSI M2M Data models Potential BBF management specifications for a standard North-Bound Interface (NBI) for interfacing to new services. Continued exploration of M2M networks and paradigms. Emerging work on Control Signaling and Data Abstraction to M2M devices as key enabler to service delivery to provide connectivity to growing ecosystem of devices.

13 M2M Activity : Ongoing TR-069 Work OD-278 to study a set of M2M use cases in order to verify extended verticle scenarios impact to TR-069, identify new object models and potentially identify GAPS. Identify overlapping or related standardization work in other fora/sdos involving device management and object model work. Current analysis: M2M (local) area networks: new constraints, e.g. large number of devices, autonomy capabilities, heterogeneity Interworking with ETSI TC M2M data models. Data modeling potential model extensions Protocols potential protocol extensions 13

14 M2M activity Control Signaling & Data Abstraction (CSDA) Horizontal solution for enabling end device communication for countless Vertical Services. Build on recent work to enable services in the Smart Home. Devices enabled with Execution Environment to provide embedded applications to enable services. 14 Devices enabled with Proxy Management able to provision and manage growing ecosystem of M2M/IoT devices. Missing piece essential to Service Providers to provide common device abstraction and signaling for new M2M related services. Completed analysis Phase communicating with other SDOs (20+ liaisons) M2M work. Build on the Broadband Forum competency and leadership in large scale device communication solutions.

15 Control Signaling & Device Abstraction

16 Control Signaling and Device Abstraction: Connection to non-ip and legacy devices Access to existing devices (and gateways) on existing network technologies, requiring no modifications. Not management plane Instant / real time command communications. Control Signaling & Device Abstraction Provides access to all devices using common communication and common objects, enabling an seamless extensible ecosystem. Provide technology agnostic access by embedded and cloud applications. Build on work in ETSI M2M Release 1 Evaluate ETSI M2M mechanisms for addressing, connectivity, instant communication, discovery, notifications etc. Insure a scalable solution for all devices, both IP and Non-IP Identify architecture critical functionality. Provide implementation friendly solution

17 OMA liaison discussion Reached out to OMA with OD-282/OD-278 liaison OMA responded with CPNS documents ( ) and Device management discussion ( ) Broadband forum to evaluate Lightweight M2M concerns about ETSI M2M during CSDA work. M2M is the intersection of Home networking and Wireless technologies. Synergies for BBF CSDA work and CPNS/Lightweight M2M architectures. onem2m involvement and impact on Cloud and home networking standards. Synergies in sharing future management objects / maybe follow common framework for management objects
