5.2.3 Sensing layer standards

5.2.3.1 Task

The standardization of the following technologies should be implemented in the sensing layer of
SSC:
 IEEE 1451 Smart Transducer Interface.

 ISO/IEC JTC 1 SC 31 and AIM PDF417 Barcode Symbols.
 ISO/IEC JTC 1 SC 31 and EPC global RFID.

 ZigBee
 IPv6 over low power wireless personal area networks (6LoWPAN).
 Wireless MBus.
 Global positioning system (GPS).

 Video surveillance.
 Smart metering.

The tasks include, but are not limited to:
 developing guidelines for the application of smart transducer interface in SSC.
 developing guidelines for the interface of barcode symbols in SSC.

 developing guidelines for the interface of radio frequency identification (RFID) in SSC.
 developing guidelines for the gateway of ZigBee/6LoWPAN in SSC.
 developing guidelines for the gateway of Wireless MBus.

 developing guidelines for the interface of Global Positioning System in SSC.
 developing guidelines for the application of video surveillance in SSC.
 developing guidelines for the interface of smart metering with related services in SSC.

5.2.3.2 Gap
Standards related to the SSC sensing are still required in the following areas:
 the set of standards IEEE 1451 is not widely used in the services in SSC, especially in the
industrial control field. There are still some standards to be developed related to the
interface of smart transducer interface with related SSC services.
 interface standards of barcode symbols systems to provide SSC services.
 interface standards of RFID systems to provide SSC services.

 interface standards of global positioning system. The joint standardization activities of GPS
should take into account the requirements of some relevant services in SSC, such as
transport, logistics, etc.
 interface standards of video surveillance systems with other ICT systems such as geographic
information system (GIS), clouding computing, big data, etc., which take into consideration
relevant applications in SSC, such as public safety, urban governance, transport, etc.
 interface standards for smart metering with related services in SSC, such as energy and
resources management, environmental protection, climate change, etc.
