3. PRODUCT CONCEPT AND USAGE

As we move quickly towards the third generation mobile world, more attention than ever is being paid to the wireless data market. We have only seen the first steps that have been taken towards the future of the mobile information society, but it is already clear that wireless data will be about a lot more than just web browsing. Machine-to-machine (M2M) communication solutions are an important part of wireless data services, making valuable information and services available to corporations and mobile users alike. The market potential is huge, and new applications are emerging continuously when operators, service providers and developers are searching opportunities for growth. The telecom industry in general is shifting towards end-to-end solutions, which requires reliable communication and information transfer.

M2M communications give corporations the opportunity to make savings in operational costs, enhance their customer service, and so on. Examples of M2M applications are the remote control of utility meters or vending machines, traffic information, industrial applications, security and surveillance, sales and payments, fleet management, telemedicine, public services and much more.

The Nokia GSM Connectivity Terminal is an M2M (machine-to-machine) communications device with versatile interfaces and advanced functions. Connected to different machines and devices, it provides wireless connectivity and remote management possibilities for customer applications through its three operation modes. It offers GPRS, USSD, high-speed data, as well as other advanced services, over EGSM900/GSM1800 (Nokia 30 terminal) and GSM850/1900 (Nokia 31 terminal) networks. It is a perfect fit for various application environments for its size, versatility and reliability.

Note: The Nokia 31 terminal supports data call bit rates from 2,400 to 14,400 bps.

4. OPERATING MODES

Each M2M application has different needs for wireless connectivity. M2M applications range from controlling door locks to tracking cargo. For this reason the Nokia GSM Connectivity Terminal supports three operation modes to choose from. Selection is based on the nature of the application and the needs of the application.

The User control mode is especially designed with mobile-to-machine and machine-to-mobile communications in mind. One can easily control simple applications built using the services of the Nokia GSM Connectivity Terminal with a mobile handset.

The AT command mode offers efficient point-to-point communications through the modem capabilities of the Nokia GSM Connectivity Terminal.

The M2M System mode in turn takes in full use all the advanced services offered by the Nokia GSM Connectivity Terminal. In the M2M System mode, the Nokia GSM Connectivity Terminal functions as a part of the intelligent Nokia M2M Platform that offers seamless wireless communications for different machine-to-machine solutions.

4.1 USER CONTROL MODE An example of a device attached to the Nokia GSM Connectivity Terminal for wireless control would be a refrigerator. One might want to check the temperature of the refrigerator when out of town. One could also want to check if the door of the refrigerator was left open. It would even be possible to lock the refrigerator door from afar. This could be done with a text message sent from a mobile handset.

Functionality as described above could be achieved with a Nokia GSM Connectivity terminal physically attached to the refrigerator. The Nokia GSM Connectivity terminal incorporates a built-in service, the User Control Mode, for device control and monitoring wirelessly, with a mobile handset. A text message is sent from the mobile handset to the terminal, which in turn controls the device attached to it. For example the temperature of a refrigerator can be checked with text message sent from a mobile handset.

A refrigerator is just one example of a device or machine that can be controlled wirelessly using the User Control Mode. Also other devices ranging from electrical locks to lamps can be put on or off. Thus, a device that simply needs to be put on or off can be controlled using User Control Mode. As for monitoring devices or machines, the same applies. It can be checked wirelessly, if something is on or off. E.g. it can be checked if a door is open or closed. Also a device value can be checked, e.g. what is the temperature reading of a thermometer. If the device or machine in turn has a need e.g. to make a voice


6/37

call, other modes of operation offered by the Nokia GSM Connectivity terminal should be used for that.

It is possible to connect five devices to one Nokia GSM Connectivity terminal for wireless remote control, and three devices for wireless remote monitoring. For more information about the connection interface for User Control Mode, please see Chapter 7.1.1.

In Table 1 the services offered by the User Control Mode are listed. For a detailed technical description of the functionalities, please see Guide for User Control Mode for Nokia GSM Connectivity Terminal.

Table 1 Functions offered by User Control Mode.

4.2 AT COMMAND MODE Besides the User Control Mode, the Nokia GSM Connectivity Terminal can also be used as a wireless modem in AT Command mode. The AT command mode offers efficient point-to-point communications through the modem capabilities of the Nokia GSM Connectivity Terminal. As a wireless modem, the terminal can be used for data and fax communication when attached to a compatible PC or a compatible device. In addition to this, the terminal can be controlled directly with AT commands by different machines and devices, for example.

Wireless modem usage is enabled with an RS-232 data adapter connected to the Nokia GSM Connectivity Terminal; see Figure 7. The RS-232 adapter has a connector for the standard RS-232 data cable. The RS-232 data cable is then connected to a compatible PC or another compatible device. In addition to this, AT commands are also available via the M2M System Connector.

All applicable ITU-T V.25ter, ETSI GSM 07.07 and ETSI 07.05 AT commands are supported. The supported AT commands are described in the AT Command Guide document, which is available on the Nokia 30 and Nokia 31

5. FEATURES

5.1 WIRELESS DATA BEARERS The Nokia GSM Connectivity Terminal supports five bearers for wireless data transfer, which can be used where GSM networks support them.

- General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)

- High speed circuit switched data (HSCSD) (Note: Supported only by Nokia 30 GSM Terminal)

- Circuit switched data (CSD)

- Short messages (SMS)

- Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD)

General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) utilises packet switched technology where information is transmitted in small bursts of data. The GPRS mobile station class is class B. This means that both GPRS connections and circuit switched connections are possible, although it has to be defined which one is used each time. The Nokia GSM Connectivity Terminal supports GPRS multi-slot class 6, thus multiple timeslots can be used for data transfer at the same time: 3 + 1, 2 + 2, 2 + 1 or 1+1 slots.

With High Speed Circuit Switched Data (HSCSD), the Nokia 30 is a multi-slot class 6 terminal and offers data transfer speeds of up to 43.2kbit/s when 3+1 timeslots are in use.

Circuit switched data offers data speeds of up to 14.4kbit/s.

The Short Message Service allows the user to send and receive messages of up to 160 characters via the Nokia GSM Connectivity Terminal. The service can deliver messages to the terminal whenever it is connected to the network, even when the terminal is engaged on an active call. SMS is a convenient way of passing data quickly and easily to and from Nokia GSM Connectivity Terminals. The Nokia GSM Connectivity Terminal supports also binary format SMS.

Note: The Nokia GSM Connectivity Terminal supports Unicode SMS messages for graphical character sending in AT command mode. In this case binary format messages should be used and the encoding and decoding of messages should be provided externally. Please see Nokia GSM Connectivity Terminal Technical Specification for more detailed information.


10/37

Unstructured Supplementary Services Data (USSD) offers reliable interactive messaging services. USSD allows the user to send and receive messages of up to 182 characters via the Nokia Connectivity Terminal. When USSD is used, a session is established for the duration of the connection. This increases data transfer reliability, as the delay is known. In addition, it shortens response times.

With the Nokia Connectivity Terminal, it is possible to choose which bearer is used in the application. With a wireless bearer choice, communication costs can be optimized. When new technologies and bearers are introduced, the onward compatibility of the Nokia Connectivity Terminal offers the possibility of choosing from more bearers.

5.2 RELIABILITY AND ACCESS CONTROL The Nokia Connectivity Terminal supports normal GSM encryption, GSM security codes, AutoPIN, system monitoring and authentication to ensure the reliability and security of the M2M application.

The Nokia Connectivity Terminal, as part of the Nokia M2M Platform, offers reliability through a supervised data pipeline. Supervision is provided by effective and reliable methods for controlling the terminals and the application via CORBA method calls. Connection between the Gateway and the Nokia Connectivity Terminal is mutually authenticated to prevent any intervention. Additional methods for security and encryption can be completed by the application.

With the Nokia Connectivity Terminal’s reliability features and supervision provided by the Nokia M2M Platform, full control of a customer’s M2M application is possible. Messages are passed to the correct destination, in the correct form, in a way that can also be tracked.

GSM encryption

The Nokia Connectivity Terminal supports normal GSM encryption for end-user privacy.

GSM security codes

The Nokia Connectivity Terminal supports the following GSM security codes:

- PIN / PIN 2

- PUK / PUK 2

- SECURITYCODE

- CALLBARRINGCODE


11/37

Security codes can be changed via the Nokia Connectivity Terminal Configurator (see Chapter 9.6) as well as from the network and from the application module.

AutoPIN

SIM security enables device recovery following (occasional) power cuts without on-site intervention and helps prevent fraud. SIM security is achieved using the AutoPIN feature. The PIN code is programmed in the terminal’s memory where it is relayed in unusual situations. When AutoPIN is in use, the SIM card is useless to any outsider.

System monitoring

Connection between the Nokia Connectivity Terminal and the application module is checked periodically by live checks. Based on the live checks, the Nokia Connectivity Terminal and the application module can be reset automatically if the connection between them breaks. This feature only exists in the M2M system mode (see Chapter 4.3) when traffic is sent through the M2M system connector.

Authentication

The terminal and Gateway authenticate each other when circuit switched data or high speed circuit switched data is used. This kind of authentication can be used in the M2M System mode.

5.3 SUPPLEMENTARY SERVICES Supplementary service features are network services. They are special services provided by wireless network service providers and therefore vary from one network and country to another.

The Nokia Connectivity Terminal supports the following GSM phase 2+ supplementary services.

- Call Forwarding

- Call Waiting

- In-Call Handling

- Call Restriction

- Security Options

- Call Transfer

- Multiparty Call

10. APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT

In a typical M2M system the Nokia GSM Connectivity Terminal is integrated to a remote asset (device) that is monitored and controlled from a server application. In simple systems, a person can control the remote asset via normal GSM phone instead of using a server application.

Nokia GSM Connectivity Terminal can be integrated to the remote asset via input and output pins provided in the M2M system connector. The pins can be set and read by a server application via in-build software interfaces of the Nokia GSM Connectivity Terminal. Also, a person can access the signal states with text messages.

There may be a need to process information more complex than just simple input and output pin data. The device may produce data that must be first processed with a certain algorithm. According the results, there may be a need to distribute information to the server application.

Nokia GSM Connectivity Terminal provides certain software interfaces and AT commands for communicating with the server software. The intelligence (remote application) resides in the remote asset that may include a logical element such as a micro controller. The micro controller is connected to the Nokia GSM Connectivity Terminal via a serial interface. The intelligence can be also close to the remote asset in a separate “bridge” element such as Nokia Smart Adapter.

With AT commands, the Nokia GSM Connectivity Terminal works as any GSM modem. Please refer to Nokia GSM Connectivity Terminal AT Command Guide for further information about the available AT commands.

In-build software interfaces can by utilized for effective communication with the server software and for accessing the services provided by the Nokia GSM Connectivity Terminal. To utilize these CORBA software interfaces, some software libraries, provided by Nokia, need to be integrated to the remote application.

11. CORBA AND NOKIA GSM CONNECTIVITY TERMINAL

The CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) is a widely distributed computing infrastructure, standardized by the Object Management Group (OMG) consortium. In short, CORBA applications are composed of objects which can be located within different machines. Objects have services and they are utilized with request messages. The CORBA hides the underlying transferring network, such as the Internet or GSM network as well as the underlying protocols, so that a user can use functions as local procedure calls.

Object services are described with an abstract language named IDL (Interface Definition Language). The IDL also provides the necessary information required to develop clients that use an object's interface operations. The interface definition specifies which member functions, data types, attributes and exceptions are available to a client, without making any assumptions about an object’s implementation. An IDL compiler is responsible for mapping IDL interfaces onto the particular programming language, such as C, C++ or Java. Thus, the programming language that is used in CORBA implementation does not have to be object-oriented.

Example applications implemented using CORBA IDL can be found at the Forum Nokia web pages: http://www.forum.nokia.com/m2m or http://www.americas.forum.nokia.com.

11.1 THE NOKIA GSM CONNECTIVITY TERMINAL INTERFACES The services offered by the Nokia GSM Connectivity Terminal are defined in the following three interface definitions:

• Wireless Device Interface Definition

• Embedded Terminal Interface Definition

• IO Interface Definition The Wireless Device Interface Definition is common for all kinds of devices. The Nokia terminal -specific services are described in the Embedded Terminal Interface Definition and services related to remote input/output control in the IO Interface Definition.

The services defined in the Wireless Device Interface Definition are divided in three interfaces: Device, ParamObserver, and EventObserver. The Device interface has functions to handle dynamic parameters and counters. The EventObserver interface’s services are used for providing information regarding events like incoming calls or network connection loss. ParamObserver interface’s functions are used in the same way, but in their case, to receive notification of changes in dynamic parameters.


27/37



The Embedded Terminal Interface Definition describes GSM related operations, such as call control, Short Message Service (SMS), supplementary services and light indicator control functions. They provide easy access to basically all mobile network services.

The IO Interface Definition has functions for the remote control of the M2M System Connector’s input/output pins. The IOControlObserver interface is used for indicating changes in those pins.

Events are available for devices connected physically to the terminal as well as for some of the method calls. Data structures and exceptions are not restricted and can be utilized by all devices connected to the terminal (irrespective of whether the connections is physical and wireless).

All dynamic parameters and events of the Nokia GSM Connectivity Terminal are described in Properties Interface Definition. Configurations such as connection settings for GPRS or SMS and led state can be set as parameter values. Parameters, counters and events can be handled through the functions of the Wireless Device Interface Definition.

For method descriptions of Wireless Device, Embedded Terminal and IO Interface Definitions, please see IDL reference guide for Nokia GSM Connectivity Terminals. For parameter, event and counter descriptions of Properties Interface Definition, please see Properties Reference Guide for Nokia GSM Connectivity Terminals. For the actual Interface Definitions, please see wirelessDevice.idl, egsmt.idl, io.idl and properties.idl of Nokia GSM Connectivity Terminals.
