EMULATING FUNCTIONALITY FOR CONSTRAINED DEVICES

摘要

To alleviate constrained nodes (102a-e) from implementing a functionality, a functionality is emulated by an intermediary node (110) for the constrained nodes (102a-e). The intermediary node is configured to intercept requests and process the requests on behalf of the node to fulfill a functionality. The functionality is typically not supported by the constrained node (102a-e). The support for the functionality is added to resource discovery responses, resource announcement messages, and/or resource registration messages to indicate to a client or a resource directory that the emulated functionality is supported by the node.
