Virtualizing Non-OCF Devices into OCF Ecosystem
Joo-Chul Lee, Seung-Yun Lee, Sang‐Ha Kim · 2018
A bridge device is defined as a device that represents devices existing on the network but communicate using a bridged protocol rather than its own protocol in an IoT ecosystem. Bridged protocol means another protocol that is translated to or from the protocol the IoT ecosystem uses. In other words, the bridge device virtualizes IoT device in different IoT ecosystem into its own IoT ecosystem. In this paper we see how OCF bridge device virtualizes non-OCF devices into OCF ecosystem. BLE is used as a bridged protocol.
