MACHINE-TO-MACHINE GATEWAY ARCHITECTURE AND FUNCTIONALITY
First Claim
1. A machine to machine (M2M) gateway (GW), comprising:
- a reachability, addressing and repository (RAR) entity; and
an M2M device and M2M gateway management (MDGM) entity, wherein the RAR entity and MDGM entity provide services to connected M2M devices.

Abstract
A machine-to-machine (M2M) gateway (GW) includes reachability, addressing, and repository (RAR) capability. The GW maintains a local mapping table and local device application repository, performs data aggregation, address/name translation, provides event reporting and establishes GW reachability and wake-up time. The GW supports requests from M2M applications or other capabilities within the GW, and from a network and application (N&A) domain RAR. The GW may include an M2M device and M2M gateway management (MDGM) capability that receives management requests for an M2M device and functions as a network proxy. The MDGM accepts and processes requests from the N&A domain on behalf of the M2M device and performs management functions of the M2M device on behalf of the N&A domain. The MDGM may request the N&A domain for permission to interact with the M2M device, initiate an interaction for device management tasks with the M2M device, and report to the N&A domain.
