OneM2M example of a standardized IoT platform OneM2M functional architecture Application Entity (AE) and Application Entity Application Entity provides Application logic for the end-to-end M2M solutions Examples of the Application Entities can be fleet tracking application, remote blood sugar monitoring application, or remote power metering and controlling application Underlying Network Services Entity (NSE) An Underlying Network Services Entity provides services to the CSEs. Examples of such services include device management, location services and device triggering. No particular organization of the NSEs is assumed. 40/52 M4IoT

OneM2M example of a standardized IoT platform OneM2M functional architecture Common Service Entity (CSE) Common Service Entity (CSE) A Common Services Entity comprises the set of service functions common to the M2M environments. Such service functions are exposed to other entities through Reference Points Mca, Mcc, Mcn. Examples of service functions offered by CSE are: Data Management, Node Management, M2M Subscription Management, Location Services etc. Such "sub-functions" offered by a CSE may be logically apprehended as Common Services Functions (CSFs). Inside a CSE, some of the CSFs can be mandatory and others can be optional. 41/52 M4IoT
