P. Sarigiannidis, D. Pliatsios: Direct and indirect access in machine type communications: An analytical approach invited paper. 2017.

Abstract

Machine-to-machine (M2M) communications have emerged as a cost-effective, flexible and efficient solution of facilitating the penetration of independent 'things' and machines in local networks and systems. the latest releases of long-term evolution (LTE) such as LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) are being transformed to support the migration of M2M devices to end terminals. 3GPP supports the definition of technical requirements and functional specifications that allows the adapting of existing technologies to support machine type communications (MTC) and the optimization of the design of advanced standards (e.g., LTE-A) for efficient data delivery. According to ETSI M2M architecture three types of MTC access methods are supported, the direct access, the gateway access and the coordinator access. An MTC can access an evolved NodeB (eNB) with or without relay nodes. Hence coverage and connectivity issues appear on designing and deploying MTC architectures. This work is focused on studying and analyzing the probability of having at least k machine devices connected in modern cellular network, where the deployedM2Mdevices are directly or indirectly connected to the eNB node.e provided analytic framework is verified by simulation results that indicate suitable deployment conditions in specific MTC scenarios. © 2017 EAI.
