We discuss the known results on rigidity of Carnot groups using Tanaka’s prolongation theory. We also apply Tanaka’s theory to study rigidity of an extended class of H-type groups which we call J-type groups. In particular we obtain a rigidity criterion giving rise to a rigid class of J-type groups which includes the H-type groups, and thus extends the results of H.M. Reimann. We also construct a noncomplex J-type group which is nonrigid and does not satisfy the rank 1 condition over the reals.
