M2M 서비스 지원을 위한 이동통신 인프라 기술은 3GPP에서 MTC(Machine Typer Communications)라 부른다. 최근 3GPP SA1, SA2 에서는 MTC 디바이스와 MTC 서버 통신 모델 기반의 서비스 모델 및 지원에 관한 네트워크 구조 기술표준이 추진되었다. 이 후 후속 작업으로 3GPP SA1에서는 TR 22.888(MTCe: Study on Enhancements for MTC) 문서를 통해 MTC 디바이스 간 통신 시나리오 및 use case 개발이 추진 중이다. TR 22.888 문서에는 MTC 디바이스 간 통신 접속 시나리오 및 use case를 정의하고 이에 대한 3GPP 네트워크 요구사항을 개발하고 있다. 현재 TR 22.888v0.7 에서는 5가지의 MTC 디바이스 간 통신 시나리오가 개발되었다. 각 시나리오는 MTC 디바이스가 접속을 원하는 원격 MTC 디바이스와 연결 설정 과정에서 직접연결, MTC 서버를 통한 연결, 네트워크/MTC 서버 내에 이름 분석 기능(name resolution function) 지원을 통한 연결, 그룹 통신 내 MTC 디바이스 간 연결, 네트워크 코디네이션(network Coordination) 지원을 통한 연결 등으로 구분된다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 M2M에서 디바이스간 직접 통신에 관한 시나리오 및 usecase를 분석한다.

MTC(Machine Type Communications), providing a variety of services anytime and anywhere by connecting the cellular network to the machine and things without human intervention, is being considered as a major challenge of the next-generation communications. Currently, When a massive MTC devices simultaneously connect to the network, each MTC device needs an independent access authentication process. Because of this process, authentication signaling congestion and overload problems will cause in LTE-Advanced. In this paper, we propose a group-based authentication protocol and a key management protocol. For managing the MTC devices as group units, the proposed protocol elects a group leader and authentications only once with the core network. After the authentication is completed, a group leader manages the rest members and MME(Mobility Management Entity) by constructing a binary tree. Finally, the propose protocol analysis show that the proposed protocol not only can reduces the authentication signaling which generated in between the MTC devices and the core network but also can manages the MTC devices, efficiently.

Recently, MTC (Machine Type Communication) is known as an important part to support IoT (Internet of Things) applications. MTC provides network connectivities between MTC devices without human intervention. In MTC, a large number of devices try to access over communication resource with a short period of time. Due to the limited communication resource, resource contention becomes severe and it brings about access failures of devices. To solve the problem, it needs to regulate device accesses. In this paper, we present an efficient access management scheme. We measure the number of devices which try to access in a certain time period and predict the change of the number of devices in the next time period. Using the predicted change, we control the number of devices which try to access. To verify our scheme, we conduct experiments in terms of success probability, failure probability, collision probability and access delay.

Optimization of the preimplantation mammalian embryo culture condition was widely focused on refining medium composition under the name of chemically defined media. However, recent research revealed that the alteration of physical environment can be a crucial factor to a successful embryo development. In this study, under the same embryo density, a novel culture device named oil-free micro tube culture (MTC) system was evaluated using porcine parthenogenetic embryos. The activated oocytes were placed into the 0.2 ml thin-wall flat cap PCR tube and cultured to the blastocyst stage. As a preliminary step, embryo density and culture medium volume were optimized under a standard drop culture system. The optimal embryo density range for in vitro culture was 0.5 embryos per ${\mu}l$ in $20\;{\mu}l$ drop (20.5%) and 1.0 embryos per ${\mu}l$ in $10\;{\mu}l$ drop (20.6%). Based on these results, we compared drop culture system and 'MTC' system in terms of the developmental rate to the blastocyst stage. In $20\;{\mu}l$ medium volume, the 'MTC' system showed similar blastocyst formation rate when compared with drop culture system (20.2% versus 20.5%, respectively) while the 'MTC' system showed lower blastocyst formation rate than drop culture system in $10\;{\mu}l$ one (12.7% versus 20.0%, respectively). Therefore the $20\;{\mu}l$ MTC system may be an alternative incubation system for short-distance embryo transport without carrying the $CO_2$ incubator and this provides novel embryo culture device to clinical veterinary embryologists.

This paper proposes an integrated lighting enabler system (ILES) based on standard machine-to-machine (M2M) platforms. This system provides common services of end-to-and M2M communication for smart lighting system. It is divided into two sub-systems, namely end-device system and server system. On the server side, the M2M platform OpenMTC is used to receive data from the sensors and send response for activating actuators. At the end-device system, a programmable smart lighting device is connected to the actuators and sensors for communicating their data to the server. Some experiments have been done to prove the system concept. The experiment results show that the proposed integrated lighting enabler system is effective to reduce the power consumption by 25.22% (in average). The proving of significance effect in reducing power consumption is measured by the Wilcoxon method.

Smart grid and intelligent transportation system draw significant interest since they are considered as one of the green technologies. These systems require a large number of sensors, actuators, and controllers. Also, machine-to-machine (M2M) communications is important because of the automatic control. The LTE-Advanced networks is preparing a set of functions that facilitate the M2M communications, and particularly the development of an efficient call admission control mechanism is critical. A method that groups MTC devices according to QoS constraints and determines the admission depending on the QoS satisfaction is limitedly applied only if the data transmission period and the maximum delay are identical. This paper proposed a call admission control that is free from such limitation and also optimizes the admission process under the certain condition of the transmission period and maximum delay. The theorems regarding the proposed method are presented with the proofs. The simulations confirms its validity and shows it is better in call admission probability than existing works.

IoT (Internet of Things) devices are often located in environments where indoor or underground, signals are difficult to reach. In addition, the transmission power is low, the base station should be designed to be able to receive signals even at low reception sensitivity. For this reason, a device having a poor channel condition can be transmitted at a low data rate using a low coding rate or repetition. When the coverage class is divided according to the channel condition and the data rate, the packet length may vary from one coverage class to another, and the performance of the slotted aloha random access may be degraded. We will focus on two methods of using shared-resource and seperate resources among multiple slotted aloha methods. In particular, when devices with different coverage classes use shared resources, performance of a device with a bad channel condition may deteriorate. Conversely, when using separate resources for each coverage class, there is a problem that congestion may occur which increases the number of devices that perform random access to one resource area. In this paper, we propose some methods to overcome this problem. This study is mainly focused on MTC devices, and is considered to be a high possibility of future development.
