Abstract

Upcoming future telecommunication networks will have to provide reliable, secure, and high-quality connectivity between highly diverse devices and a plurality of service and content provider domains, using ideally compatible inter-operable fixed and mobile converged access technologies. Today, the majority of actual communication requests and user applications is initiated by both, human beings via personal handheld devices, and a plethora of types of machines. This are smart devices as sensors, watches, household appliances etc., and setting up the so-called Internet of Things. The amount of the latter will increase. New device types will emerge steadily and may span up a new market very well comparable to that of traditional human-centric communication, especially in view of the current vision to meet challenges to mankind as climate change, endemic diseases, unequal distribution of wealth and health in a global scale by means of digitalization and Information and Communication Technology.

To enable ease of operation at affordable costs for secure automatic deployment, upgrade, and maintenance of IoT, new models are required also for bootstrapping, authenticating, and subsequently authorizing a device during network attachment procedure, even without demanding specific and potentially complex or error-prone customer activity.

This contribution evaluates typical use cases and describes the problem space including underlying key issues related to sensing technologies and intelligent data analysis, but also measures to improve, e.g., reliability and resilience. The concepts investigated by different standard developing organizations are reviewed, and a set of open challenges and research topics are identified.
