and other characteristics of the cellular network, the Telecommunications Industry Association told the group. The TIA group on smart device communications said functionality includes data buffering to preserve battery power and providing devices with wakeup schedules when they need to communicate with the network. In addition to the lower layers under consideration in the ITU-R work, smart device communications also requires standardized upper layer protocols and data models, together with standardized “convergence layer” to the underlying data transport, TIA said. That will spur deployment of applications, it said. TIA specifications will address the upper layers of the protocol stack and specify functionality that can run on top of various wired and wireless networks, TIA said. The smart device group has also been discussing the definition of “a common domain information model” to provide a uniform structure and access methods for the data stored in smart devices, they said. The group will make the functionality available to applications through a set of application programming interfaces, it said. TIA wants the ITU-R working party to consider including in its work the objectives and requirements for the convergence layer.
