Channel access procedures of the state-of-the-art cellular standards create a significant overhead for small messages transmitted by Internet of Things (IoT) devices. As IoT becomes a major source of traffic for next-generation wireless …
Existing cellular infrastructures have to be revisited for emerging machine-to-machine (M2M) traffic as semi-synchronized M2M arrivals may create a significant congestion resulting in a high access delay. In such a case, there is a strong need for …
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 …
