1. A machine to machine (M2M) gateway (GW), comprising:
at least one processor configured to determine registration attributes for a registration service, for a plurality of M2M devices, that comprise an M2M device identification for each of the plurality of M2M devices permitted to register with the M2M GW; the at least one processor configured to receive a registration request from one of the M2M devices to register with the M2M GW; the at least one processor configured to determine, using the registration service, whether to register the requesting M2M device by comparing the registration request to the registration attributes; the at least one processor configured to register the requesting M2M device with the M2M GW; and the at least one processor configured to communicate with the requesting M2M device to provide the requesting M2M device with an M2M common service capability.
2. The M2M GW of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to receive the registration attributes from a network and application service.
3. The M2M GW of claim 1, further comprising a memory configured to store the registration attributes.
4. The M2M GW of claim 1, wherein the registration attributes further comprise at least one of a service class, power availability for the plurality of M2M devices, and memory availability for the plurality of M2M devices.
5. The M2M GW of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to authenticate the plurality of M2M devices to use the M2M common service capability.
6. The M2M GW of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to save the registration attributes in a mapping table that comprises an M2M area network address for each of the plurality of M2M devices.
7. The M2M GW of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to determine whether there is a change in registration information of the requesting M2M device based on the registration attributes.
8. The M2M GW of claim 7, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to send a notification message to a network and application service on the condition that there is a change in the registration information of the requesting M2M device.
9. A method implemented by a machine to machine (M2M) gateway (GW), comprising:
determining registration attributes for a registration service, for a plurality of M2M devices, that comprise an M2M device identification for each of the plurality of M2M devices permitted to register with the M2M GW; receiving a registration request from one of the M2M devices to register with the M2M GW; determining, using the registration service, whether to register the requesting M2M device by comparing the registration request to the registration attributes;
registering the requesting M2M device with the M2M GW; and
communicating with the requesting M2M device to provide the requesting M2M device with an M2M common service capability.
10. The method of claim 9, further comprising receiving the registration attributes from a network and application service.
11. The method of claim 9, wherein the registration attributes further comprise at least one of a service class, power availability for the plurality of M2M devices, and memory availability for the plurality of M2M devices.
12. The method of claim 9, further comprising authenticating the plurality of M2M devices to use the M2M common service capability.
13. The method of claim 9, wherein further comprising saving the registration attributes in a mapping table that comprises an M2M area network address for each of the plurality of M2M devices.
14. The method of claim 9, further comprising determining whether there is a change in registration information of the requesting M2M device based on the registration attributes.
15. The method of claim 14, further comprising sending a notification message to a network and application service on the condition that there is a change in the registration information of the requesting M2M device.
