IoT (Internet of Things) and M2M (machine to machine) have attracted a lot of attention since more and more devices are expected to connect to the Internet for special purposes such as environment monitoring, home automation, industrial surveillance, and e-Health care. Currently, the OM2M (Open source platform for M2M communication) is a promising project which implements oneM2M and SmartM2M standards as an open-source platform for integrating various M2M services, applications, and devices. However, the individual data generated from those IoT/M2M devices is usually quite small, which incurs a lot of control overhead and thus decreases network performance significantly. Therefore, in this work we design and implement an OM2M 'plugin' that can aggregate small IoT data effectively. We will show how the plugin works and verify the effectiveness on the network bandwidth in this demonstration.
