Base Specifications

To create this interoperable sensor network usage of XMPP a set of extensions has been created

• sensor-data

 Provides the underlying architecture, basic operations and 
 data structures for sensor data communication over XMPP networks. 
 It includes a hardware abstraction model, removing any technical 
 detail implemented in underlying technologies. 
 This XEP is used by all other sensor network XEPs.

• xep-0000-SN-Control

 Defines how to control actuators and other devices in
 sensor networks.

• xep-0000-SN-Concentrators

 Defines how to handle architectures containing concentrators 
 or servers handling multiple sensors.

• sensor-network-provisioning

 This specification. Defines how provisioning, the management of
 access privileges, etc., can be efficiently and easily 
 implemented.

Enhancing Specifications

• xep-0000-SN-Discovery

 Defines the peculiars of sensor discovery in sensor networks. 
 Apart from discovering sensors by JID, it also defines how to 
 discover sensors based on location, etc.

• xep-0000-SN-Events

 Defines how sensors send events, how event subscription, 
 hysteresis levels, etc., are configured.

• xep-0000-SN-Interoperability

 Defines guidelines for how to achieve interoperability in 
 sensor networks, publishing interoperability interfaces for 
 different types of devices.

• xep-0000-SN-Multicast

 Defines how sensor data can be multicast in efficient ways.

• xep-0000-SN-PubSub

 Defines how efficient publication of sensor data can be made 
 in sensor networks.

• xep-0000-SN-BatteryPoweredSensors

 Defines how to handle the peculiars related to battery powered
 devices, and other devices intermittently available on the network.

Supporting Specifications

• XEP-0000-ColorParameter

 Defines extensions for how color parameters can be handled, based on Data Forms [1]

• XEP-0000-DynamicForms

 Defines extensions for how dynamic forms can be created, based on Data Forms [2], 
 Data Forms Validation [3], 
 Publishing Stream Initiation Requests [4] 
 and Data Forms Layout [5].

• XEP-0000-Exi

 Defines how to EXI can be used in XMPP to achieve efficient 
 compression of data. Albeit not a sensor network specific XEP, 
 this XEP should be considered in all sensor network 
 implementations where memory and packet size is an issue.
