Six national standards for sensor networks will be released at the end of the year

After nearly two years of intense brewing and formulation, a few days ago, the draft of the six national standards involving the top-level architecture and basic specifications of the sensor network arrived on schedule. The reporter was exclusively informed that these six standards will be closed for comments in September this year, and is expected to be officially introduced by the end of the year. At that time, China's Internet of Things industry will have a national standard that can be followed, and it is expected to achieve specific industry division of labor on the basis of the standard and accelerate large-scale commercial use.

Submitted to the National Standards Committee in September

Xing Tao, deputy secretary general of the Sensor Network National Standards Working Group, told reporters that the deadline for soliciting opinions is September. At that time, the Sensor Network National Standards Working Group will issue feedback and processing reports to the industry based on the opinions solicited. The six standards will be submitted to the National Standards Committee, and the final approval process will be followed. The final time for the National Standards Committee to release standards should be around early 2012.

It is understood that due to the extensive participation of the industry in advance in the standard-setting process, as of the press release, there are not many opinions from the six standards solicitations, and there are no substantial contradictions, which means that the standard is officially promulgated Has entered the fast lane.

According to Xing Tao, these six standards cover most of the areas of concern in all aspects of the industrial division of labor, and have made corresponding regulations for the ubiquitous IoT business of operators and the interfaces of sensor networks and the Internet.

Standard system molding

Previously, when the National Standard Working Group on Sensor Networks was established in September 2009, six project groups were established, and the solicitation draft issued this time was developed by these six project groups. It is understood that the estimated development time at that time was two years.

It is reported that in addition to these six standards, China is currently developing sensor network standards, there are three basic standards and two industry standards, the standards working group also plans to establish new standards in the second half of this year. The above two industry standards are: the technical requirements of the airport fence sensor network anti-intrusion system and the technical requirements of the sensor network system for energy-saving monitoring of large buildings.

At the same time, a sensor network standard led by China has become China ’s first international standard for sensor networks. This standard is a standard proposal for sensor network information processing services and interface specifications. The sensor was adopted in March last year. The establishment of the Internet International Standards Working Group is expected to be launched around 2013.

Accelerate commercial scale

At present, the development of China's Internet of Things is showing a pattern of blooming flowers, and it also has hidden concerns: each enterprise and each organization has its own set of specifications, and the application of each other's Internet of Things is a closed information island, so the industrial chain has not yet formed, and large-scale commercial Difficulties. After the establishment of six national standards for sensor networks, it is expected to advance the division of labor in the sensor network industry chain and promote the commercialization of large-scale Internet of Things. "The standards have been worked out, the key lies in the later implementation." Xing Tao said that the worst result is that even if some companies do not follow the national standards, at least there are national standards that can be referenced.

Many industry insiders interviewed by the reporter said that these six standards will have important guiding significance for IoT system integrators, sensor equipment vendors, gateway vendors, and telecom operators. Tao Xing frankly stated that all the time telecom operators are advancing into the Internet of Things with M2M solutions as the main means. M2M applications mainly use the peer-to-peer communication technology of mobile communication, and operators also earn income from this. "In the future of the Internet of Things, telecom operators will inevitably move towards ubiquitous Internet of Things applications, and the relevant standards for sensor networks for operators, whether they do it themselves or collect solutions from related enterprises, have A unified principle that can be followed, "he said.

The specific content of the six standards

· "Sensor Network Part 1: General Provisions" provides an overall overview of the sensor network, and proposes the overall functional requirements and reference architecture of the sensor network;

· "Sensor Network Part II: Terminology" is a noun explanation, it is to sort out and summarize the terminology of the sensor network, and establish a unified standard for the use of the terminology of the Chinese sensor network;

· "Sensor Network Communication and Information Interaction Part 1 Low-Speed ​​Wireless Sensor Network Network Layer and Application Support Sublayer Technical Specifications" is a network protocol, which is based on the requirements of some typical application scenarios, especially the standards and specifications proposed by the application scenarios where the device needs to move The principle of network communication between different sensor network devices has been learned;

· "Sensor Network Interface Signal Interface Specification" gives the interface specification for sensors to access different sensor networks. It is an important standard for the future and can achieve free access between sensors and networks that follow the protocol, similar to the Internet era. TCP / IP protocol;

· "General Technical Specification for Sensor Network Information Security" proposes the data encryption mechanism and basic security framework of the sensor network, including the classification of some security levels;

· "Code for Sensor Network Identification Sensor Node Coding" unifies the coding principles of sensor networks.
