Definition of IoT
IoT
A global network infrastructure, linking
physical and virtual objects through
the exploitation of data capture and
communication capabilities
[EU FP7 CASAGRAS]
MTC
A form of data communication which
involves one or more entities that do
not necessarily need human interaction
IoT
A global infrastructure for the information
society, enabling advanced services by
interconnecting (physical and virtual) things
based on, existing and evolving, interoperable
information and communication technologies
NOTE 1 – Through the exploitation of
identification, data capture, processing and
communication capabilities, the IoT makes full
use of things to offer services to all kinds of
applications, whilst ensuring that security and
privacy requirements are fulfilled.
[ITU-T Y.2060]
M2M (service layer)
Considered as a key enabler for IoT
M2M
Communication between two or
more entities that do not
necessarily need any direct human
intervention
M2M
Information exchange between a
Subscriber station and a Server in the core
network (through a base station) or
between Subscriber station, which may be
carried out without any human interaction
[IEEE 802.16p]
Geneva, Switzerland, 18 February 2014
IoT
a world-wide network of interconnected
objects uniquely addressable, based on
standard communication protocols
