Study on architecture enhancements for Personal IoT Network (PIN)
The scope of this Technical Report is to study the enhancement of 5G System to support Personal IoT Network (PIN). The study addresses the service requirements documented in TS 22.261 [5] for the Personal IoT Networks. The following aspects needs to be studied:
- Architecture enhancement:
- To study the potential architectural enhancements for supporting management of PIN, access of PIN via PIN Element with Gateway Capability (PEGC), and communication of PIN (e.g. PIN Element communicates with other PIN Elements directly or via PEGC or via PEGC and 5GS).
- To study the potential architecture enhancements for supporting identifying PIN and the PIN Elements.
- Security related:
NOTE: The study may need cooperation with SA3. If solutions are related to security impact, they will be studied in SA WG3.
- To study how to identify PIN and the PIN Elements in the PIN at 5GC level to serve for authentication/authorization.
- Management as well as policy and routing control enforcement:
- To study the management of a PIN.
- To study the procedures for PIN discovery, PIN Element discovery.
