The Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has been working on developing specifications on Machine to Machine Communications (M2M) and on the emerging Internet of Things (IoT) bringing light into the associated service and network requirements. This paper presents a special form of M2M/IoT communication, where at least one communication device is part of a vehicle that automatically communicates...
5G networks are expected to support significantly higher data rates than legacy networks through ultra-dense deployment of networks, higher system bandwidths and higher spectral efficiency. Such networks would also be supporting a diverse set of use cases in order to provide connectivity solutions for other industry verticals. One of the key requirements of 5G is to support all these enhancements...
The exponential increase in capacity and data rate demands, along with the diversification of use cases and verticals that are planning to use cellular radio access networks (RANs) to provide connectivity, has prompted the development of the fifth generation (5G) of radio access technology. Traffic steering, which aims at optimum mapping of the data flows to the appropriate RAN access points (APs),...
Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications is considered to be one of the key enablers for the provisioning of advanced applications and services such as smart cities and hospitals, as well as automated vehicular and industrial automation operation. Currently, in LTE-Advanced systems, the main focus has been on supporting massive deployment of low cost devices, with enhanced radio access network coverage...
Device-to-device (D2D) communications facilitate promising solutions for service optimization and spectrum/capacity efficiency in the Third-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) networks. A key enabler for D2D communications and proximity services (ProSe) is the device discovery process. Currently, many aggressive peer discovery methods discussed in 3GPP could induce high energy consumption. Therefore,...
In this paper we consider the use of an energy efficient, mobility state based flexible scanning mechanism for the discovery of small cells deployed in a different carrier. The evaluated scheme considers the mobility state of the mobile terminal in a heterogeneous network scenario for determining the inter-frequency scanning rate and suspends inter-frequency measurements when the terminal is in high...
