The development of M2M standards for ubiquitous sensing service layer

Currently, a lot of research efforts are ongoing in the Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication area, with the object of creating an ubiquitous sensing framework to connect real and virtual things. In the same context, various standards developing organizations (SDO) have recently promoted standardization activities in the M2M domain. In this paper, we investigate the standardization efforts toward a common M2M service layer that provides end-to-end service delivery and integrates heterogeneous devices and technologies. In addition, we present an ETSI-compliant implementation of M2M service layer that include advanced features for M2M solutions and able to extend to oneM2M standards to be released end of this year.
