—Localizing machine type communication (MTC) devices or sensors is signi cantly important due to the increasing popularity of machine to machine (M2M) communication networks in location-based applications such as health monitoring, rescue operations, vehicle tracking, and wild re monitoring. Moreover, ef cient localization approaches for sensor-based MTC devices reduce the localization error an...

In recent times, smart devices, homes, manufacturing, and even cities, all of which are connected to the Internet Things (IoT) have become quite common. IoT technology heavily relies on Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication in order make technologies behave a way. Any type connection between two devices that does not require human intervention is referred as "machine-to-machine" technology. Th...

Radio networks model wireless data communication when bandwidth is limited to one wave frequency. The key restriction of such networks is mutual interference of packets arriving simultaneously to a node. The manyto-many (m2m) communication primitive involves p participant nodes of a distance at most d between any pair of them, from among n nodes in the network, and the task is to have all parti...

Supporting a massive number of machine to machine (M2M) devices has been considered as an essential requirement in M2M communications. Meanwhile, cyber security is of paramount importance in M2M; if M2M devices cannot securely access the networks through efficient authentication, all applications involving M2M cannot be widely accepted. One of research challenges in M2M is group authentication ...

Machine to machine (M2M) technology has emerged as a rapidly developing technology for large-scale networking of devices without dependence on human interaction. The new form of machine interconnectivity integrates with cloud computing infrastructure through the Internet however, M2M communication poses unique security challenges as the Internet grow steadily and rapidly. The large number conne...

Machine-to-machine communication (M2M) is a fundamental enabler for a variety of products and services. Companies involved in the implementation and operation of M2M solutions are confronted with novel economic challenges with regard to the formation and management of interorganizational networks. Using case study research and associating theories of interorganizational networks with the (mostl...

This paper reviews the multiple access techniques for machine⁃to⁃machine (M2M) communications in future wireless cellular net⁃ works. M2M communications aims at providing the communication infrastructure for the emerging Internet of Things (IoT), which will revolutionize the way we interact with our surrounding physical environment. We provide an overview of the multiple access strategies and e...

It is appropriate to start this discussion on the prospects of M2M (machine-to-machine) communications with a discussion of what M2M is. This is because, even a decade after the M2M industry came into existence, it is common to find varying definitions of M2M. In consequence, many consultants' reports on M2M still need to specify what is meant by M2M. For instance, a Forrester report 1 of Decem...

This research conceptualizes an architecture (M2MGen) aimed at generating M2M applications as a service offered by a telecommunications network provider. M2MGen employs various plug-ins and knowledge constructs which can be configured to meet requirements of clients from various industry sectors interested in deploying M2M applications. The architecture addresses the following aspects: Data-acq...
