  3. 2.1 Standardization Bodies Thomas Watteyne @ EDERC 2010

  4. What are Standards? • Normative standardization documents are • elaborated by a community • publicly available without any discriminatory conditions • published by Standards Developing Organizations (SDOs) • SDO (Standards Developing Organization): • publish standards which • rely upon national or international regulations • Further facts about standards: • pushed for by consortia or forums • popularity is reflected by the market • serve as references for compliance purposes Thomas Watteyne @ EDERC 2010

  5. Benefit of Standards • Service Providers benefit because • they can design, develop and operate a wide range of services • whatever the underlying but standard-compliant, heterogeneous technologies • Vendors benefit because • they can access markets more easily with standard-compliant products • proprietary technologies are restricted to niche markets (at best) • at the risk of blurring competitive differentiation • Customers benefit because • they can access a wide range of services • without the burden of being tied to a given service provider or technology Thomas Watteyne @ EDERC 2010

  6. Corporate View • Standardization as a profitable business: • defend business stakes • promote patents through the enforcement of a consistent IPR policy • Standardization as a decision-making tool: • privileged space for consolidating and developing leadership positions • Speed up the introduction of new products and/or services: • facilitated by a set of available standards • Slow down the standardization process: • to extend the lifetime of an already-introduced yet proprietary product or service Thomas Watteyne @ EDERC 2010

  7. Regulatory View • Technology space is very complex: • stringent regulations are hence needed • to facilitate control and possible billing (e.g. UMTS spectrum license) • Standards serve as the technical references for regulation rules: • European directives and derived domestic laws • part of the legal resolution of conflicts between competitors • and/or customers and service providers • Part of the corporate strategy: • corporate solutions evolve in a regulated manner • mainly if regulators see a (financial) opportunity Thomas Watteyne @ EDERC 2010

  8. Standardization Bodies • Standards Developing Organization bodies can be • international (e.g. ITU-T, ISO, IEEE), • regional (e.g. ANSI, ETSI), or • national (e.g. CCSA) • Standardization efforts pertinent to WSNs are: • IEEE (link and physical layer solutions) • ETSI (complete M2M solutions) • ISA (regulation for control systems) • IETF (routing and network solutions) Thomas Watteyne @ EDERC 2010

  9. IEEE – Overview • Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers: • is one of the leading standards-making organizations in the world • Standardization through IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) • IEEE standards affect a wide range of industries: • power and energy • biomedical and healthcare • information technology • telecommunications • transportation • nanotechnology, etc. • IEEE has close to 900 active standards, with 500 standards under development. Thomas Watteyne @ EDERC 2010

  10. IEEE – The 802 “soup” • 802.1 High Level Interface (HILI) Working Group • 802.3 CSMA/CD (Ethernet) Working Group • 802.11 Wireless LAN (WLAN) Working Group • 802.15 Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) Working Group • TG1 – WPAN, Bluetooth • TG3c - mmWave • TG4c - WPAN Alternative PHY for China • TG4d - WPAN Alternative PHY for Japan • TG4e - WPAN Enhancements • TG4f - RFID • TG4g - Smart Utility Neighborhood • TG5 - WPAN Mesh Networking • TG6 - Body Area Networks • TG7 - Visible Light Communication • IGthz - Interest Group Terahertz • WNG - Standing Committee Wireless Next Generation • 802.16 Broadband Wireless Acces s (BWA) Working Group • 802.17 Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) Working Group • 802.18 Radio Regulatory Technical Advisory Group • 802.19 Coexistence Technical Advisory Group • 802.20 Mobile Broadband Wireless Acces s Working Group • 802.21 Media Independent Handover Working Group • 802.22 Wireless Regional Area Networks Working Group Thomas Watteyne @ EDERC 2010

  11. IEEE – WSN Related Standards • The IEEE usually standardizes: • PHY layer of the transmitter • MAC protocol rules • The following IEEE standards are applicable to WSNs: • IEEE 802.15.4 (technology used by ZigBee and IETF 6LowPan) • IEEE 802.15.1 (technology used by Bluetooth/WiBree) • IEEE 802.11x (technology used by WiFi) • Some facts and comments: • IEEE 802.15.4 has been the obvious choice but will get • serious competition from ultra-low power (ULP) IEEE 802.15.1 (WiBree) • low power IEEE 802.11 solutions are emerging (e.g. Marvell) Thomas Watteyne @ EDERC 2010

  12. IETF – Overview • Internet Engineering Task Force: • formed in 1986 • not approved by the US government • composed of individuals, not companies • quoting the spirit: “We reject kings, presidents and voting. We believe in rough consensus and running code.” D. Clark, 1992 • Quick overview on the IETF: • meets 3 times a year, and gathers an average of 1,300 individuals • more than 120 active working groups organized into 8 areas • IETF management (including area directors) is chosen by the community Thomas Watteyne @ EDERC 2010

  13. IETF – Overview • General scope of IETF: • above the wire/link and below the application • TCP/IP protocol suite: IP, TCP, routing protocols, etc. • However, layers are getting fuzzy: • MAC & application layers influence routing in WSN • hence a constant exploration of "edges" • Some curiosities: • there is no formal recognition for IETF standards by governments or SDOs • IETF publications are very interesting for SDOs because of quick implementation Thomas Watteyne @ EDERC 2010

  14. IETF – WSN Related Standards • IETF 6LoWPAN [2005] • add IPv6 capabilities to wireless sensors • end-to-end connectivity to/from the Internet • IETF ROLL [2007] • identify application domains • define a routing protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks • IETF 6LoWApp [2009] • what goes on top of IP? • brand new… Thomas Watteyne @ EDERC 2010
