Aim and Scope:
--------------
In recent years, the number of networked machines and/or devices, such
as those encountered in automatic meter readers, vending machines, or in
remote monitoring applications; has dramatically increased. As a result,
we have witnessed the emergence of the so-called paradigm of
Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication. M2M devices are often
characterized by very modest data rates, low mobility and stringent cost
requirements, along with the need to communicate over a wide area.
Besides, in the coming years, M2M devices are expected to significantly
outnumber voice and (often bandwidth-hungry) data terminals. All this
entails a major re-design of future cellular networks, which were
originally conceived with human-to-human communications in mind. This
opens a wide research area for future M2M communications, including
investigations on scalability, wide-area coverage, energy-efficiency,
spectral-efficiency, heterogeneity, cooperation, security and
inter-networking architectures. To this end, the European
Telecommunication Standards Institute's M2M Technical Committee has
proposed a hybrid architecture whereby cellular-enabled gateways act as
traffic aggregation and protocol translation points for their capillary
(i.e. wireless sensor) networks. Capillary networks, in turn, are
composed of a potentially high number of devices (namely, sensors and
actuators) equipped with short-range radio interfaces, often compliant
IEEE802.15.4-related standards. Current standardization activities in
3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project) encompass a number of
optimizations specifically addressing machine-type communication needs.
Moreover, IPSO (IP for Smart Objects) is assembling a protocol stack
from standards being finalized at the IEEE and IETF.
This special issue aims at gathering recent advances in the areas of
advanced M2M communication systems, and technologies, with the
perspective of current M2M-related standardization activities in 3GPP,
ETSI, IEEE, IETF and IPSO.
