P2P based service provisioning in M2M networks

This publication presents a novel concept to provide and use services in a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) connected Machine-To-Machine (M2M) network. Based on the successful implementation in Smart Grid application field, the concept became more generalised and now it is part of M2M application fields of 2nd and 3rd generation. The concept provides an overall solution for information exchange, extended by community mechanism, for convenient networking of peers to use and provide optimised services. Inside an M2M community, the peers can operate as a single peer or operate as a cluster of peers to provide and use the services.
