I try and fit components together logically so that they can make the most of what the technology offers. I work predominantly in the OSS world on new access technologies like 5G and implementations like the Internet of Things. I want to achieve not just the deployment of these capabilities but to also to let… Continue reading Bringing IT (OSS) all together

5G, Iaas and Mobile Edge Computing
Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is a key piece of the 5G architecture (or 5G type claims on a 4G RAN). MEC can already make a huge difference in video latency and quality for video streaming multiple feeds within a sporting environment. For example Intel, Nokia and China Mobile video streams of the Grand Prix at… Continue reading 5G, Iaas and Mobile Edge Computing
A Reference Architecture for the Internet of Things
The Internet of Things requires multiple Reference Architectures which can map capabilities to specific technology domains. This is a challenge because there is no single unifying industry definition for the Internet of Things. For the purpose of this presentation it is assumed that: “Things” have semantic representation in the Internet “Things” can be acted upon in a… Continue reading A Reference Architecture for the Internet of Things
M2M Protocols
There are many different usable protocols for communication with M2M devices for the Internet of Things. Specific protocols are more appropriate for different devices (e.g. memory & power profiles) and specific protocols are more appropriate for different communication needs (e.g. State Transfer Model & Event Based Model)
BSS for the IoT: You Don’t Have To Be A Mobile Network Operator To Do It
The Internet of Things is not predicated on mobile or fixed-line operators. It is predicated on the value derived from the interplay between different sensors and actuators. In the history of mobile telecommunications it was the mobile network operators who provided a service that brought together radio waves and handset manufacturers. The success of mobile… Continue reading BSS for the IoT: You Don’t Have To Be A Mobile Network Operator To Do It
A Common Service Layer for M2M & The Challenge of AAA for Smart Devices
The Internet of Things, as distinct from the internet of people, requires communication between devices to enable home automation, telematics and health care monitoring. This intercommunication is dependent upon semantically structured and shared data for enabling functions such as identification, authentication, authorisation, bootstrapping and provisioning. Standardising both the semantically structured data and the enabling functions across M2M applications… Continue reading A Common Service Layer for M2M & The Challenge of AAA for Smart Devices
