of the thing, but not in physical contact with it. An example of physical neighborhood is the association of the mobile phone of a subscriber who is caught in a traffic jam with the traffic jam itself: the mobile phone is the device, the traffic jam is the thing and the association means that the mobile phone is in the physical neighborhood of the area inside which the traffic jam is constrained (e.g. within 100 m from the region where the average speed of cars is below 5 km/h). Logical association means that there is a relationship between the device and the thing which is neither fully physical in the sense of attachment or embedding, nor fully physical proximity related. An example of logical association is between the car and the garage door opener of the garage where the car usually parks during the night. IoT gateway. A device that additionally to or instead of sensing/actuating provides and protocol conversion functionalities between devices and IoT backend potentially in any combination of these hosts a number of features of one or several Generic Enablers of the IoT Service Enablement.
