APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING A SENSOR NETWORK
First Claim
1. A Machine to Machine (M2M) gateway, comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive a device management (DM) command from a DM server that connects to a plurality of sensor devices within a sensor network via the M2M gateway;
a processor configured to;
access a topology tree that comprises first and second management object (MO) nodes after receiving the DM command, wherein the first MO node comprises an identification and a type of the sensor network, and the second MO node describes a characteristic of each of the plurality of sensor devices and a connection relationship of the plurality of sensor devices;
based on address information within the DM command, locate at least one of the first and second MO nodes; and
retrieve information from the located at least one of the first and second MO nodes; and
a transmitter configured to send the retrieved information to the DM server.

Abstract
A network system includes a device management (DM) server and a Machine to Machine (M2M) gateway coupled to the DM server and to a plurality of sensor devices in a sensor network. The DM server is configured to send a DM command. The M2M gateway is configured to: after receiving the DM command, access a topology tree that includes first and second management object (MO) nodes, wherein the first MO node includes an identification and a type of the sensor network and the second MO node describes a characteristic of each of the plurality of sensor devices and a connection relationship of the plurality of sensor devices; according to address information within the DM command, locate at least one of the first and second MO nodes; retrieve information from the located at least one of the first and second MO nodes; and send the retrieved information to the DM server.
