Abstract: A method and apparatus for distributed services and data in a machine-to-machine (M2M) communication network are disclosed. A network server, an M2M gateway, and M2M devices include an M2M service capability layer for supporting M2M service capabilities, respectively. Reference points may be defined for interactions between network service capability layers, between gateway service capability layers, between a gateway service capability layer and a device service capability layer of an M2M device, between M2M device applications, and/or between a network, gateway, or device service capability layer and an M2M application. The network server may be split into a control server and a data server at a service capability layer to provide service capabilities for control functions and service capabilities for data functions, respectively. The data server may be configured to interact with another data server to push or pull data or resources either directly or indirectly via the control server.
