Abstract
Methods, devices, and systems for migration or sharing of existing M2M service layer sessions are disclosed. In one embodiment, a Session Migration and Sharing Function (SMSF) performs the migration or sharing of a M2M service layer session. Various forms of service layer session context may be used to enable the migration and sharing of M2M service layer sessions.
Claims20
A node comprising a processor and a memory, the node further including computer-executable instructions stored in the memory of the node which, when executed by the processor of the node, perform functions of an instance of a service in a network and cause the node to:
- store, in the memory of the node, a context comprising information concerning a service session established between a service instance of the node and an application executing on a second node in the network, wherein the context comprises information defining policies by which migration of the service session is to be performed;
- and
- in response to a trigger condition indicating that the service session between the service instance of the node and the application of the second node is to be migrated to a third node, transmit the stored context for the service session from the node to a service instance executing on the third node,
- wherein the service supports service capabilities through a set of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).
A method for use by a node in a network, the method comprising:
- storing, in a memory of the node, a context comprising information concerning a service session established between a service instance of the node and an application executing on a second node in the network, wherein the context comprises information defining policies by which migration of the service session is to be performed;
- and
- in response to a trigger condition indicating that the service session between the service instance of the node and the application of the second node is to be migrated to a third node, transmitting the stored context for the service session from the node to a service instance executing on the third node.
