Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and nongovernmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.

IEEE Standards documents are developed within the IEEE Societies and the Standards Coordinating Committees of the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board. The IEEE develops its standards through a consensus development process, approved by the American National Standards Institute, which brings together volunteers representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve the final product. Volunteers are not necessarily members of the Institute and serve without compensation. While the IEEE administers the process and establishes rules to promote fairness in the consensus development process, the IEEE does not independently evaluate, test, or verify the accuracy of any of the information contained in its standards.

The main task of ISO/IEC JTC 1 is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.

Attention is called to the possibility that implementation of this standard may require the use of subject matter covered by patent rights. By publication of this standard, no position is taken with respect to the existence or validity of any patent rights in connection therewith. ISO/IEEE is not responsible for identifying essential patents or patent claims for which a license may be required, for conducting inquiries into the legal validity or scope of patents or patent claims or determining whether any licensing terms or conditions provided in connection with submission of a Letter of Assurance or a Patent Statement and Licensing Declaration Form, if any, or in any licensing agreements are reasonable or non-discriminatory. Users of this standard are expressly advised that determination of the validity of any patent rights, and the risk of infringement of such rights, is entirely their own responsibility. Further information may be obtained from ISO or the IEEE Standards Association.

ISO/IEC/IEEE 18881 was prepared by the Corporate Advisory Group of the IEEE-SA Board of Governors (as IEEE 1888.1-2013). It was adopted by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 6, Telecommunications and information exchange between systems, in parallel with its approval by the ISO/IEC national bodies, under the “fast-track procedure” defined in the Partner Standards Development Organization cooperation agreement between ISO and IEEE. IEEE is responsible for the maintenance of this document with participation and input from ISO/IEC national bodies.

Introduction

In an IEEE 1888 network, there are components [such as an application (APP), a gateway (GW) and storage, etc.] and sensors/actuators. GWs and sensors/actuators are the most popular facilities used in Ubiquitous Green Community Control Networks (UGCCNets). Sensors/actuators are data terminals that “generate” physical data or “accept” command data. GWs are used to relay data between sensors/actuators and other components, and data translation may be made during the transmission. GWs could be provided by different vendors or suppliers with different functions; therefore, they need to be managed to operate collaboratively. In this case, a consistent protocol, which is the essential task of this standard, is required.

This standard is based on IEEE Std 1888-2011 protocols, enhancing the management and control functionality of the network by extending the interfaces, protocols, and message formats, and focuses on the GW-related workflows for access, control, configuration, registration, running status, event handling, etc. Three aspects are included in this specification:

• a) Specifying system architecture to manage and control GWs and the connected sensors/actuators
• b) Providing methods to monitor GWs
• c) Describing the communication processes that facilitate the operation abilities

In order to achieve effective network operation management, the management and control unit (MCU), which is responsible for the management of components (such as GW) access, control, and configuration, is introduced.

This document is organized as follows:

• Clause 4 specifies the general system architecture and typical communication sequences
• Clause 5 and Clause 6 describe the MCU and GW, respectively, which are key nodes in the GW control and management process
• Clause 7 focuses on the access, configuration, control, and management processes of the GW
• Clause 8 and Clause 9 describe the relevant interfaces and data structures that are extensions of IEEE Std 1888-2011
• Clause 10 describes the compatibility with IEEE Std 1888-2011
• Clause 11 describes the security considerations
