Machine To Machine Communications

Machine to Machine (M2M) communication enables devices to communicate autonomously without human intervention, integrating the physical and digital worlds. The M2M process involves data collection, transmission, assessment, and response, with applications ranging from vending machines to complex network services. The market for M2M technologies is poised for growth, but requires standardization for interoperability and long-term development.

communications
Introduction
In M2M communication, objects can talk to each
other without human intervention
Today there is insufficient integration of real
physical world with virtual world (computers,
servers, etc)
Today Human translates physical world
information in to digital world information to
use computers
What is M2M?

M2M refers to technologies that allow both
wireless and wired systems to communicate
with other devices of the same type.

4 basic stages that are common to just about
every M2M application
1) Collection of data
2) Transmission of selected data through a
communication network
3) Assessment of the data
4) Response to the available information
Potential M2M services
Works?
One can buy soft drinks, flowers, etc from
vending machine in self service manner
Once the vending machine detects the item
in out-of-stock, it sends message to order
management server through 3G/4G
communication link which further send
information to vendor
The vendor re-stocks the vending machine
Vending machine stores daily sales data in
internal database and sends information to
vendor
Vendor will know which product has been
sold and the total daily revenue

Network Service Capabilities
-Provide functions that are shared by different applications

-Expose functionalities through a set of open interfaces

-Use Core Network functionalities and simplify and optimize applications


development and deployment whilst hiding network specificities to
applications

-Examples include: data storage and aggregation, uni-cast and multi-cast


message delivery, etc.

M2M Applications (Server)

Applications that run the service logic and use service capabilities
accessible via open interfaces.
M2M Device Domain
* M2M Device
– A device that runs application(s) using M2M capabilities
and network domain functions. An M2M Device is either
connected straight to an Access Network or interfaced
to M2M Gateways via an M2M Area Network.
M2M Device Domain

*M2M Area Network


-A M2M Area Network provides connectivity between M2M
Devices and M2M Gateways. Examples of M2M Area Networks
include: Personal Area Network technologies such as IEEE
802.15, SRD, UWB, Zigbee, Bluetooth, etc or local networks
such as PLC, M-BUS, Wireless M-BUS.
*M2M Gateways
-Equipments using M2M Capabilities to ensure M2M Devices
interworking and interconnection to the Network and
Application Domain. The M2M Gateway may also run M2M
applications.
M2M Market Characteristics


Initial investment is difficult (e.g., license fees)

Complex supply chain: from chipset to network to mobile
operators

Long-tail business

Low ARPU (<$10) compared to voice (<$30)

Lagging standards
Conclusion
- M2M related technologies are in place and the
market has massive potential for growth
- Standardization is essential for long term
development of the technology and for
interoperability of networks and services
- Operators, integrators and vendors have
expressed the need to standardize end to end
M2M
- Regulation in Europe, USA and Asia is pushing
for a standards based solution
- It is essential to have globally compatible
standards
