2 ETSI STANDARDS FOR IoT in the SMART HOME ETSI STANDARDS FOR IoT in the SMART HOME APPLICATION LAYER TB/partnership projects: smartm2m and onem2m RADIO standards Mid range, license exempt, private network: TC DECT => DECT Ultra Low Energy (ULE) Cellular, licensed spectrum, operated network: 3GPP 2

3 ETSI STANDARDS FOR IoT in the SMART HOME ETSI STANDARDS FOR IoT in the SMART HOME APPLICATION LAYER TB/partnership projects: smartm2m and onem2m RADIO standards Mid range, license exempt, private network: TC DECT => DECT Ultra Low Energy (ULE) Cellular, licensed spectrum, operated network: 3GPP 3

4 4 DECT ULE Technology Overview

5 DECT / ULE Overview DECT ULE is a mid-range low power consumption technology intended for battery or line powered home and industrial automation devices Developed by the ETSI Technical Committee DECT, and built on top of DECT technology, addresses different market Different players, different distribution channels Suitable for many IoT scenarios, Smart Home is the most mature and the primary commercial target from current product manufacturers Synergies with DECT voice products and role of the Home Gateway 5

6 DECT / ULE Overview A central Home Gateway provides ULE radio coverage for the Home Network Low power / low cost ULE devices Home gateway providing WIFI, DECT and ULE coverage Home Control Unit Internet 6

7 DECT / ULE Overview 1) Reuses the DECT spectrum License exempt high-quality spectrum ( MHz) 2) Reuses DECT Physical layer and channel structure Range 70 m (NLOS) >500 m (LOS) (= full DECT range) Low cost DECT hardware that can be shared with voice service Complete reuse of radio chipset in Base Stations and Home Gateways Size of DECT technology: 100 M of devices / year 7 3) New MAC layer specific of ULE New MAC messages and ultra-fast expedited procedures allowing combined transmission of signaling and U-plane data in the same packets. Provides reliable transmission at MAC layer and protects the integrity of the transmission New channel selection strategy (compared to DECT) New Management algorithms for handling access collisions

8 DECT / ULE Overview 8 4) Improved DLC and NWK layers Provides full C/O service with Mobility Management (similar to a cellular technology) 5) State-of-the-art security based on CCM authenticated encryption (RFC- 3610) and AES-128 Provides simultaneously strong encryption and continuous mutual authentication without the need of running NWK layer transactions Mechanism ideal for the intended application 6) Interface to upper layers based on IPv6 and 6LoWPAN RFC currently in draft stage (draft-ietf-6lo-dect-ule-04): Similar and compatible approach to other technologies (IEEE ) Provides technology transparency to application protocols Direct Interworking to Application protocols, or transport of other NWK protocols are also possible

9 DECT / ULE Market positioning Market positioning and value proposition Optimal combination of power consumption and range best in town for the specified coverage range (70m 500m) 9

10 10 ETSI standards overview

11 ETSI Standards Overview 11 EN to 8 Basic DECT library split by layers All ULE procedures have been added to current revision (v2.6.1) TS : DECT ULE Phase 1 Defines the core of ULE technology TS : DECT ULE Phase 2 Adds multicast services, integration voice/data, SUOTA (Software Upgrading Over the Air) and other improvements An IETF RFC will define the Interworking to IPv6 using 6LoWPAN compression techniques draft-ietf-6lo-dect-ule-04: Transmission of IPv6 Packets over DECT Ultra Low Energy Radio harmonized Standard shared with voice DECT EN and EN for IMT-2000 band

12 12 Markets and Applications

13 ULE: target phase 1 applications Smart Home and smart living applications (All these applications are supported by current version of the standard) 1) Home automation and energy control Remote switches, dimmers and push buttons Smart Appliance control Smart metering and energy control Remote controls 2) Temperature control Thermostats, control modules and associated actuators 3) Security and Alarms Fire, Glass Break, Flood, CO2, burglary and other alarms 4) ehealth applications Medical Alarms / pendants (for elderly and vulnerable people) Medical monitor devices (I.e. Heart Rate or blood preasure Monitor) Smoke Detector Smart Plug DECT ULE WiF DECT 13

14 ULE Use cases examples Use case example: fire alarm 14

15 ULE Use cases examples Use case example: Home control, thermostats, energy, A/C 15

16 ULE Use cases examples Use case example: Energy and appliances management 16

17 ULE: phase 2 and beyond applications 17 Additional smart Home applications Applications with mixed data / voice capabilities E,g. Intercoms and pendants with audio capabilities Multicast communications and wireless relay stations Office and Industry automation Introduction of large multi-cell systems with full mobility Smart Cities Short range radio for local communications and metering Local communication for security and critical services Personal Area Networks (WPAN) Local communication and wearables. Increased data-rate applications Extension up to 5 Mbit/s possible with current DECT technology

18 Evolution and standardization needs Identified gaps and standardization needs in the immediate future: Focused on the Smart Home scenario 18

19 Evolution and standardization needs Area 1: improvements and evolution of the core radio technology Base technology will be improved by means of additional ULE phases Some identified items: Introduction of higher data rates and continuity between ULE and current high speed data capabilities Introduction of additional features required by several scenarios: slow motion and still image transmission (video vigilance), reduced latency modes, improved low power voice modes, further reduction of power by Tx power control, etc. Further improvements in auto-configuration, pairing and system management Some improvements are already in progress: standard for ULE relay stations currently under final development at TC DECT. 19

20 Evolution and standardization needs Area 2: Low Energy Application Protocols Application Protocol Suites designed taken into account the Real Needs of the Smart Home environment Target: bringing the energy efficiency to network, transport, middleware, and application protocols Not many groups working in this field Examples of the real needs Realistic semantics (for the intended problem) Rational architectures providing the required flexibility (and not more) Efficient Network layer protocols providing the requiring addressing needs (and not more) Efficient coding of the protocols Availability in a realistic time frame 20

21 Evolution and standardization needs Example Alarm theft sensor powered by a Lithium battery CR2032 Target: 5 years battery duration Application is not trivial from security point of view: requires continuous exchange of stay-alive messages to verify the integrity of the sensor. Such application is possible with DECT ULE However requires some cooperation (efficiency) from the application protocols 21

22 Evolution and standardization needs Example 2 Medical pendant device for elderly vulnerable people Medical pendant scenario Market and social importance not in discussion Current not-standardized implementations suffer from several radio, performance, and reliability limitations. It would be highly desirable adding voice capabilities 22
