SERVICE LAYER SOUTHBOUND INTERFACE AND QUALITY OF SERVICE

摘要

Existing resource reservation schemes are inefficient for M2M communications. In one example embodiment described herein, the system includes a service layer server residing on the service layer, and a control plane node residing on the access network, the service layer server communicating with the control plane node via the control plane interface. do. The control plane interface may be used to construct quality of service (QoS) policies (rules) based on the object being addressed. In this context, for example, the object may be a memory location or value. For example, the service layer may configure one or more QoS rules for the access network based on the object by sending a QoS provisioning message including one or more parameters to the control plane node. The control plane node may determine the object identified in one or more QoS rules, and the QoS rules may be distributed to one or more routers that may be used to access the object. The access network may apply one or more QoS rules according to the parameters.
