M2M device management in LTE networks

The driving concept of device management in M2M systems is establishment of a comprehensive end-to-end resource oriented design. In this paper, OMA-DM protocol for device management of M2M devices in 3GPP LTE networks is proposed and discussed. The OMA-DM represents a stable starting point for device management. Utilization of this protocol in M2M requires efficient message formats and transport replacement such as CoAP, Core Link Format, EXI, etc. The additional wake up mechanisms should also be considered for managing the stand by policies.
