Abstract
A Machine-to-Machine (M2M) services enablement architecture for a cellular Access Network (AN) that allows the cellular AN operator to not only deploy its M2M Services Capabilities (SC) as an M2M SC Server within its network domain, but to also use its M2M SC to work as an M2M SC Proxy when communicating with an M2M Service Provider (SP) network that also deploys an M2M SC Server. The M2M SC Proxy in the cellular AN relays all signaling plane communications between an M2M device's/gateway's SC and the SP's M2M SC Server. The M2M SC Proxy provides the cellular AN with an access to all of the Across-Layers (Transport and Service Layers) information needed for the M2M services enablement in the cellular AN. This proxy-based solution allows the cellular AN to serve all types of M2M SPs, and relieves the M2M SP from the need to support different cellular AN interworking interfaces.
