ETSI Standardization Activities on M2M communications
Joachim Koss,
ETSI Board Member

2. Highlight of Current Activities (1)
ETSI is
developing standards to support an M2M architecture and a set of capabilities for M2M services
promoting innovation across the industry by providing an end-to-end generic vision of the M2M communications and services
The multiple vertical applications will be easily deployed
in a general framework, allowing development of
services independently of the underlying network

3. Highlight of Current Activities (2)
European Commission Mandates on
Smart Metering (M/441)
Smart Grid (M/490)
Charging of Electrical Vehicles (M/468)
Multi Vendor interoperability DEMO based on Release 1 set of specifications
TC M2M is leading TC, co-ordinates all ETSI TCs, which contribute

4. ETSI TC M2M (1) specifies the interconnection fabric:
capillary technologies provide device-M2M network communications
has active delegates from Europe, North America, China, Korea, and Japan and currently about 30% Operators, 60% Manufacturers and 10% others
has initiated active liaisons and cooperation with many other SDOs and consortia (e.g. TIA, OMA, BBF) and in particular has close relationship to 3GPP
processes an open approach:
published and draft TR/TS are available on the public side of the ETSI server

5. ETSI TC M2M (2) Working Groups Use Cases & Requirements
Architecture & Network Interworking
Protocols & Interfaces
Security Aspects
Management Aspects
Release 1 set of specifications will be approved in 11/2011

6. ETSI TC M2M (3)
8 plenary meetings per year plus numerous ad-hoc meetings
several conference calls per week
constantly increasing the number of documents per meeting (250 +)
constantly increasing plenary participation (70 +)
growing membership in M2M list (395+)

7. ETSI TC ERM
TG28
has specific work items in support of additional spectrum designations for key M2M market segments:
Short Range Device standards essential for efficient capillary network deployment
Work items for wireless smart metering/smart grid systems

8. Strategic Direction
Identify gaps where existing standards do not fulfil the requirements
Avoid overlapping of standardization
Involve representatives across vertical market solutions and industry segments

9. Challenges
Multitude of technical solutions and dispersed standardization activities result in the slow development of the global M2M market, consolidation required
End-to-end view for a globally interoperable framework to facilitate Machine-to-Machine (M2M) business, flexible for enhancements
Timely availability, M2M solution fragmentation and dispersing standardization is permanently proceeding
Way to engage representatives of vertical ICT and non ICT market/industry segments (convince by benefits, collect and include their specific needs/requirements)
Create global applicable standards also meeting the specific regional and vertical segment needs (e.g. by adaptations)

10. Next Steps / Actions Attract further liaisons and co-operations
Involve more M2M stakeholders
ETSI TC M2M will open Release 2 set of specifications in its October meeting

11. Proposed Resolution (changes)
Modifications proposed to existing Resolution GSC-15/30 Machine to Machine
Editorial update to current meeting data
Adaptation of text concerning M2M Standardization Task Force (MSTF) since it is already established
Further content enhancements
