US 2013/0294285 A1 · METHOD FOR REMOTELY MANAGING A SENSOR NETWORK TOPOLOGY AND GATEWAY

Abstract

A method for remotely managing a sensor network topology includes: receiving a device management DM command sent by a device management server, where the DM command acts on a preconstructed management object MO node and the MO node includes a node configured to discover a sensor network topology, a node configured to describe a sensor network topology, or a node configured to modify a sensor network topology; and managing a sensor network according to the DM command, where the management includes discovering the sensor network topology, describing the sensor network topology, or modifying the sensor network topology. By adopting the present invention, remote topology management of a sensor network successive to an M2M gateway can be implemented and the complexity for implementing the management is reduced.

Dependent claims

A method for remotely managing a sensor network topology, comprising:

receiving, by a gateway, a device management DM command sent by a device management server, wherein the DM command acts on a preconstructed management object MO node and the MO node comprises at least one of:
a node configured to discover a sensor network topology, a node configured to describe a sensor network topology, and a node configured to modify a sensor network topology;
and
managing, by the gateway, a sensor network connected to the gateway according to the DM command, wherein the managing comprises at least one of:
discovering the sensor network topology, describing the sensor network topology, and modifying the sensor network topology.
