ITU-T Q.4062 PDF

The Internet of things (IoT) is achieved by use of multiple access technologies for different types of communication networks such as body area network (BAN), personal area network (PAN), local area network (LAN), wireless local area network (WLAN), low power wireless access network (LPWAN), field area network FAN, metropolitan area network (MAN), wide area network WAN and cellular networks. Therefore, conformance and interoperability tests not only for domains with single access technology but also for the integrated domains with multiple access technologies are required. The main goal of this Recommendation is to specify the testing framework for IoT to accommodate the tests for such integrated domains with multiple access technologies. Conformance and interoperability tests for domains served by single unified access technology have been taken into account by relevant standards developing organizations (SDOs) and thus are out of scope in this Recommendation.
