12、.1002/1000/11830-en. ii X series Supplement 31 (09/2017) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) i

13、s a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years,

14、 establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessa

15、ry standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC.

34、y “thing“ should be identified by a globally or locally unique identifier to be accessed as shown in Figure 1. There are some special situations where these “things“ do not need global and unique identifiers, but they have to be unique in a local environment. X series Supplement 31 (09/2017) 3 Sourc

35、e: Modified from ITU-T Y.2060. Figure 1 Targets of identification in the IoT There are some typical IoT devices that are used to support the connection of every “thing“ to the IoT, and these devices are identified as shown in Figure 2, according to ITU-T Y.2060. Among these four types of devices, da

36、ta carrying devices can be identified by radio frequency identification (RFID) since these will be attached to physical things such as boxes and bottles. Source: modified from ITU-T Y.2060. Figure 2 Types of devices to be identified in the IoT The requirements of identifying objects in IoT are speci

37、fied in ITU-T Y.4801. 7 Characteristics of object identifiers useful for IoT 7.1 Overview Object identifiers (OIDs) are jointly developed by ISO/IEC and ITU-T, and have many characteristics. OIDs satisfy the requirements of clause 6 as explained below. 4 X series Supplement 31 (09/2017) 7.2 Identify

38、ing anything An OID has a hierarchical tree structure, which can flexibly extend its layers and the length of the identifiers. An OID is able to identify anything (physical or virtual, devices or non-devices), and is able to connect them with global information and communication infrastructures. 7.3

39、 Communication between things An OID has independent arcs under its top level, and can accommodate short-range communication technologies. An OID is also used to identify things in which communication capabilities are unnecessary, such as digital certificates, algorithms and organizations. Thus, an

40、OID is able to provide a harmonized way to integrate the identifiers of devices, which need communication capabilities, and the identifiers of things, which do not. 7.4 Association between physical and virtual objects An OID can be used for tag-based identification to associate a physical object wit

41、h its information stored in servers. OIDs have also been used extensively in network device management and various data and data structures. The concept of OIDs integrates the identifiers of physical objects and the identifiers of virtual objects. 7.5 Networking technology independency of IoT device

42、s In IoT environments, numerous devices may connect to each other using different networking technologies. OIDs are independent of networking technologies and have been widely used to identify objects in different networking contexts, such as simple network management protocol (SNMP)-enabled network

43、 management systems, data structures of databases, cloud storage objects of cloud computing, etc. 7.6 Mapping identifiers to objects An OID is a type of universal identifier that can be used to identify things from different layers, including identifier schemes which are used to identify different k

44、inds of things, such as radio frequency identification (RFID), 2-dimensional (2D) barcode, etc. The character encoding technology specified in ISO/IEC 10646 could be used with OIDs to offer various formats of characters, such as the object identifier - internationalized resource identifier (OID-IRI)

45、. OIDs can be supported by various OID resolution services as specified in ITU-T X.672. Therefore, an OID satisfy the requirement of mapping identifiers to objects in different layers and can integrate them easily. 8 General procedure for establishing OID-based IoT identification systems This clause

46、 introduces the general procedure for establishing an OID-based IoT identifier system for a specific application area, as follows: Step 1: Analysis of business requirements: Analyse what kind of objects should be identified. Step 2: Classification of objects: Categorize the objects in IoT according

47、to their characteristics. Step 3: Design for the structure of OID: More details for step 1, step 2 and step 3 can be found in clause 9. Step 4: Deployment of OID resolution system (ORS): Address how to establish resolution systems and how to deploy distributed servers. More details can be found in c

48、lause 10. Step 5: Establishing authorities and procedures: Administrative authorities and operational procedures should be established. Additional details can be found in clause 11.

Figure 3 General procedure of establishing OID-based IoT identification systems 9 Considerations when designing/choosing identification schemes for OIDs 9.1 Factors considered for identification schemes There are many factors that should be considered when designing/choosing identification schemes for OIDs. Before designing OID identification schemes for IoT objects, the business requirements of the IoT application should be analysed fir
