Machine-to-machine (M2M) communication is a key enabling technology for industrial internet of things (IIoT)-empowered industrial networks, where machines communicate with one another for collaborative automation and intelligent optimisation. This new industrial computing paradigm features high-quality connectivity, ubiquitous messaging, and interoperable interactions between machines. However,...

M2M communication is quickly gaining popularity because of its endless possibilities. In order to take advantage of this new technology we need to use more advance networks like the 3GPP LTE/LTE-A which deliver higher throughput and can handle more active devices. LTE networks were mainly designed for H2H communication meaning that we cannot just use M2M devices over it without any optimization...

In recent years, the number of machine-to-machine (M2M) networks, which do not require direct human intervention, has been increasing at a rapid pace. Meanwhile, the need for a wireless platform to control and monitor these M2M networks, one with both a vast coverage area and a low network deployment cost, continues to be unmet. Mobile cellular networks (MCNs) and wireless sensor networks (WSNs...

As concerns about energy efficiency and conservation grow, smart grid and intelligent transportation systems that consist of a large number of sensors, actuators and controllers have positioned as a crucial infrastructure. In such systems, machine-to-machine (M2M) communications between components make it possible the full automatic control of the systems. M2M communications is different from e...

Cellular-based machine-to-machine (M2M) communication is expected to facilitate services for the Internet of Things (IoT). However, because cellular networks are designed for human users, they have some limitations. Random access channel (RACH) congestion caused by massive access from M2M devices is one of the biggest factors hindering cellular-based M2M services because the RACH congestion cau...

In the near future, many sensors and terminals will be connected to the public network to provide various convenient IoT/M2M services. In order to connect many sensors to the network efficiently, wireless communication systems in the 920MHz band are seen as attractive solutions. We are focusing on the 920MHz band to research and develop highcapacity protocols that can accommodate many terminals...

The term Internet of Things (IoT) is defined as the network of highly connected various kind of devices such as smart sensors, actuators, smartphones, RFID tags, backend servers, etc.. Machine to Machine (M2M) Communication enables those interconnected network of heterogeneous objects to interact and exchange information among each other and therefore creates the IoT environment practically pos...

The 5G wireless communication system is a new generation mobile communication system beyond 2020. 5GNow is still in the exploration stage. There are some shortcomings in LTE and LTE-A, such as strict synchronism, latency in crowded areas, energy consumption, and challenging in IoT, etc. The 5G wireless networks is a will consider satisfying better user experience, manifoldness of services, M2M ...
