Full title and description

ISO/IEC 30142-2:2022 — Internet of Things (IoT) — Underwater acoustic sensor network (UWASN) — Network management system — Part 2: Underwater management information base (u-MIB). This part defines the underwater management information base (u‑MIB) used by the underwater network management system (U‑NMS) to represent managed objects, reporting/notification structures and integration rules between manager and agent MIBs for UWASN environments.

Abstract

This document provides the underwater management information base (u‑MIB) of the underwater network management system (U‑NMS). It specifies general requirements for constructing a u‑MIB in U‑NMS, guidelines for designing managed objects for manager and agent u‑MIBs, and rules for integrating those managed objects to support monitoring, control and notifications in underwater acoustic sensor networks.

Scope

Defines the structure and content of the underwater management information base (u‑MIB) used by U‑NMS for UWASN operations. The standard covers general construction requirements for u‑MIB modules, naming and OID hierarchy considerations, managed object (MO) definitions for both manager and agent roles, data types and attributes appropriate for constrained underwater devices, and integration rules including notification/trap mechanisms for asynchronous event reporting. The aim is to provide a lightweight, interoperable MIB model tailored to acoustic, resource‑constrained underwater networks.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of u‑MIB structure and module grouping suited for UWASN (network, device, service and event/trap groups).
• Requirements for designing managed objects (MOs) for manager and agent u‑MIBs, including attributes, types and minimal capability sets.
• OID hierarchy and naming guidance to ensure unique identification and integration with existing network management OID spaces.
• Integration rules and interaction patterns between manager and agent MOs, including read/write access, notifications/traps and event reporting.
• Considerations for constrained underwater environments: lightweight representations, reduced polling, energy‑aware reporting and tolerant timing semantics.
• Informative annexes and examples illustrating typical u‑MIB modules and sample managed objects for common underwater devices.

Typical use and users

Used by system designers, network architects and implementers working on underwater acoustic sensor networks and IoT solutions for marine, research, defence and industrial monitoring applications. Typical users include device firmware engineers, network management system developers, integrators of underwater sensing platforms, test laboratories and standards bodies implementing compliant U‑NMS and agent software.

Related standards

Part of the UWASN/underwater networking standards family led by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 41. Key related items include the ISO/IEC 30142 family (overview and network management system requirements — ISO/IEC 30142:2020) and other UWASN series documents and reference architecture parts (for example the ISO/IEC 30140 series and application profile work). These documents provide the higher‑level requirements, reference architectures and interface definitions that complement the u‑MIB definitions in Part 2.
