Abstract
Machine type communications (or Machine-to-Machine / M2M) communications have emerged as an important paradigm in wireless communication networks. The current M2M standardization activities are presented and their implementation in 4G/LTE networks is described in detail. The chapter is divided in three parts that are related to the evolution of the Future M2M communication Networks. The first part focuses on existing random access management schemes for M2M communications that are presented in the literature. The second part is devoted on spectrum sharing methods and on M2M clustering and it presents the spatial distribution of heterogeneous networks and its impact on their connectivity. Finally, the last part refers to energy efficiency issues of the future M2M communication systems and their implementation using distributed power control and MAC/scheduling algorithms.
