Study on facilitating machine to machine communication in 3GPP systems
The present document identifies potential requirements to facilitate improvements in M2M communication and the more efficient use of radio and network resources.
Special consideration is given to the following areas for optimisation:
- Charging mechanisms
- Addressing
- Types of communication
- Fixed location, low mobility and low activity terminals
- Handling of large numbers of subscriptions and subscriber data within the network
- Handling issues of large number of M2M subscriptions for the user of M2M services
- Impact of optimisations for security resulting from improvement for M2M
