The current LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) standard has been designed for human-generated traffic but it has to be adapted for machine-to-machine (M2M) communications due to the expanding Internet of Things (IoT) market. Although most M2M devices infrequently …
In this paper, we first propose a joint resource and path selection algorithm for optical burst switched grids. We show that path switching and network-aware resource selection can reduce burst loss probability and average completion time of grid …
