CUSTOMIZED RESOURCE TYPES FOR MACHINE-TO-MACHINE COMMUNICATION

摘要

Techniques are described for providing and using customized resource types for machine-to-machine (M2M) communication. Through the use of customized resource types, machine type communication (MTC) devices may be provided with flexibility to receive and process request messages without prior knowledge of a resource type associated with the request messages. A receiving MTC device or infrastructure node, may receive a request to create a resource from a requesting MTC device via wireless or wired communications technologies. The resource type of the request may be a customized resource type, and the request to create the resource may include a resource reference and a content parameter. The resource reference may include, for example, a Uniform Resource Indicator or a Uniform Resource Locator that may be used by the receiving MTC device to retrieve the data associated with the resource. The receiving MTC device may generate the resource using the retrieved data.

主权项

1. A method for wired or wireless communication at a first machine type communication (MTC) device, comprising:
receiving a request from a second MTC device to create a resource, wherein the request comprises a resource reference and a content parameter; retrieving data associated with the resource from a first server, wherein the data is retrieved using the resource reference; generating the resource using the retrieved data; and sending a response message comprising the content parameter to the second MTC device.
