ABSTRACT

A special architecture has been invented for Long-Term Evolution (LTE)-M and IoT “indirect model” with new Diameter interfaces and terms. The emergence of LTE-M and NB-IOT requires a dedicated management and fully secured service in replacement of the traditional over the top data service. MNOs can also deploy an additional dedicated cellular-IoT core. The AS may set an M2M device to send SMS when different events occur. The TS 23.682 facilitates communications with packet data networks and applications in replacement of traditional IoT architecture using a proprietary dialog between the device and the AS over a data channel 3G, 4G, or WiFi. Direct user plane methods are terminal dependent and may lack easy interworking, while 3GPP control plane methods are precisely defined and then adapted for a provider of an IoT service to third parties’ AS allowing them to manage their worldwide mobile IoT devices such as containers and street lamps.
