Resource link management at service layer
A link management service may dynamically configure one or more link-enabling attributes based on a link profile. There may be multiple types of architectures that support the link management service, such as an independent link management and integrated link management.
1. A device that manages resource links, the device comprising:
a processor; and
a memory coupled with the processor, the memory comprising executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
receiving a first link profile from a first entity, the first link profile comprising instructions for how to dynamically configure the value of an attribute link of a first resource corresponding with a first machine-to-machine (M2M) device, wherein the value of an attribute link of the first resource is a first identifier value that is directed to a second resource corresponding with a second machine-to-machine (M2M) device;
monitoring for a condition associated with the first link profile, wherein the condition associated with the first link profile comprises:
a first time period in which the attribute link of the first resource that is directed to the second resource is not active for a mobile device at a location, and
a second time period in which a second attribute link directed to the second resource is active for the mobile device at the location;
determining that the condition associated with the first link profile has been met, wherein the condition associated with the first link profile comprises a third time period in which the attribute link of the first resource that is directed to second resource is not valid based on a node associated with the second resource being in a sleep type mode; and
in response to the condition being met, dynamically configuring the value of the attribute link of the first resource to the second attribute link based on the instructions described in the first link profile, wherein the second attribute link is a second identifier value that is directed to a third resource, wherein the first resource, second resource, and the third resource are different.
2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the condition associated with the first link profile comprises context information of a mobile device associated with the first resource.
3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the condition associated with the first link profile comprises context information of a first entity associated with the first resource, wherein the context information comprises bandwidth.
4. A method for resource link management of a service layer, the method comprising:
receiving a first link profile from a first entity, the first link profile comprising instructions for how to dynamically configure the value of an attribute link of a first resource corresponding with a first machine-to-machine (M2M) device, wherein the value of an attribute link of the first resource is a first identifier value that is directed to a second resource corresponding with a second machine-to-machine (M2M) device;
monitoring for a condition associated with the first link profile, wherein the condition associated with the first link profile comprises:
a first time period in which the attribute link of the first resource that is directed to the second resource is not active for a mobile device at a location, and
a second time period in which a second attribute link directed to the second resource is active for the mobile device at the location;
determining that the condition associated with the first link profile has been met, wherein the condition associated with the first link profile comprises a third time period in which the attribute link of the first resource that is directed to second resource is not valid based on a node associated with the second resource being in a sleep type mode; and
in response to the condition being met, dynamically configuring the value of the attribute link of the first resource to the second attribute link based on the instructions described in the first link profile, wherein the second attribute link is a second identifier value that is directed to a third resource, wherein the first resource, second resource, and the third resource are different.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the condition associated with the first link profile comprises context information of a first entity associated with the first resource.
6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the condition associated with the first link profile comprises context information of a first entity associated with the first resource, wherein the context information comprises latency of a communication session, wherein the first entity is mobile device.
7. A computer readable storage medium comprising computer executable instructions that when executed by a computing device cause said computing device to effectuate operations comprising:
receiving a first link profile from a first entity, the first link profile comprising instructions for how to dynamically configure the value of an attribute link of a first resource corresponding with a first machine-to-machine (M2M) device, wherein the value of an attribute link of the first resource is a first identifier value that is directed to a second resource corresponding with a second machine-to-machine (M2M) device;
monitoring for a condition associated with the first link profile, wherein the condition associated with the first link profile comprises:
a first time period in which the attribute link of the first resource that is directed to the second resource is not active for a mobile device at a location, and
a second time period in which a second attribute link directed to the second resource is active for the mobile device at the location;
determining that the condition associated with the first link profile has been met, wherein the condition associated with the first link profile comprises a third time period in which the attribute link of the first resource that is directed to second resource is not valid based on a node associated with the second resource being in a sleep type mode; and
in response to the condition being met, dynamically configuring the value of the attribute link of the first resource to the second attribute link based on the instructions described in the first link profile, wherein the second attribute link is a second identifier value that is directed to a third resource, wherein the first resource, second resource, and the third resource are different.
8. The computer readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the condition associated with the first link profile comprises context information of a first entity associated with the first resource, wherein the context information comprises power control requirements.
