智慧機器至機器雲之架構與通訊協定

Abstract

在本計畫中，我們將提出一全新之架構，稱「智慧機器至機器雲（Smart M2M Cloud）」。 此Smart M2M Cloud 包含各種機器至機器（Machine-to-Machine，M2M）網路，如車 載網路、智慧電網、感測網路、與行動通訊網路。此Smart M2M Cloud 可自動感測、 連結、互動、自我組織、與自我修復。機器至機器網路可形成一雲端網路，藉由雲端 計算之概念，機器至機器網路之細節可被抽象化，一般非專家之使用者，將可輕易地 控制與使用機器至機器網路所提供之服務。在本計畫中，除了研究全新Smart M2M Cloud 之架構外，我們亦將設計新的algorithms 與protocols 以有效管理Smart M2M Cloud 中數以萬計之機器。此外，我們將建置一proof-of-concept testbed，以驗證我們 的設計，與展示其實用性。

In this project, we propose a new architecture call Smart M2M Cloud in which Machine-to-Machine (M2M) networks, including vehicular, Smart Grid, sensor, and mobile cellular networks, can sense, connect, interactive, self-organize, self-healing automatically. By leveraging cloud computing, the details of M2M networks are abstracted from the users who do not need to be experts to control the M2M infrastructure and use the services provided by the M2M networks. In addition to investigating innovative Smart M2M architecture over cloud computing, we will also design new algorithms and protocols to manage millions of network nodes in the Smart M2M Cloud efficiently. Besides, a proof-of-concept testbed will be built to demonstrate the feasibility of the designs.
