Abstract

In a machine to machine (M2M) system, resource management is performed by M2M devices by creating resources, announcing resources, retrieving information from an announced resource, deleting an announced resource, on behalf of the devices themselves, or on behalf of another device. In some embodiments, resource management protocols are further provided to include a child resource attribute that provides efficiency of protocol signaling by inheriting certain features if a parent resource from which the child resource attribute is derived.
