Motivation for LTE in M2M & Smart Grid Applications


What is M2M ?

“ At its most basic level M2M relates to connecting remote sensing,

monitoring and actuating devices. However, it is about much more than

that. Specifically it concerns enabling new business models and processes

through the application of connectivity.”

• Increase IT efficiency for business and government. Public and private sector organizations can gain significantly in terms of automated business process

management, enterprise resource planning (ERP) and streamlining of customer relationship management (CRM)

processes.

• Help products gain or maintain a competitive edge. Connectivity can facilitate the addition of new features to products and services. For instance a consumer

electronics equipment manufacturer can add a cloud storage solution for a camera, or an insurance company can

offer a real-time usage-based insurance solution. The opportunities are endless.

• Enabling companies to comply with regulation. Certain national and multi-national (i.e. EU) regulation requires either explicitly (e.g. eCall) or implicitly (e.g.

regular utility meter reading) some form of connectivity. These regulated applications provide the strongest

growth push for M2M in the next 2-3

years.

CAGR: Compound Annual Growth Rate


M2M – More Forecasts...

By 2022 there will be 18 billion M2M connections globally, up from

approximately 2 billion today

The biggest sector in 2022 will be intelligent buildings with 37% of all

connections, dominated by heating, ventilation and air-conditioning

(HVAC) and security systems. Accounting for 32% of connections, the

second biggest is consumer electronics, including games consoles, music

players, cameras and white goods. These are followed by utilities (10%)

and automotive (8%). Short-range technologies will dominate M2M,

accounting for 73% of connections in 2022.

Cellular technologies will grow from 146 million devices at the end of

2011 to 2.6 billion at the end of 2022. Today M2M accounts for only

around 2% of cellular connections. By 2022 it will account for 22%.

Today, M2M is dominated by 2G, in particular GPRS. By 2022 3G and

LTE will between them account for almost 90% of connections,

driven by requirements for higher bandwidth applications and

demand for technology future-proofing.

Key Smart Grid Initiatives


M2M & Smart Grid Connectivity Options &

Challenges

Business Model

• Private or Operator Network

Wireless Technology option for Short & Long Range

• WiFi, Zigbee, WiMAX, GPRS, 3G, LTE

Frequency Band Option

• License-Exempt Frequency Bands (e.g 900 MHz, 2,4 GHz,

5,4 GHz, 5,8 GHz)

• Traditional Operators Licensed Bands (e.g. B7 2,5 GHz, B3

1,8 GHz, B5 800 MHz, B13 700 MHz and others)

• New Licensed Bands (e.g 450 MHz, 200-400 MHz for

Brazil)


M2M & Smart Grid Connectivity Options &

Challenges Current cellular systems are designed for human-to-human (H2H):

we are not too many users, in the end

we tolerate delay/jitter, even for voice connections

we like to download a lot, mainly high-bandwidth data

we don’t mind to recharge our mobiles on a daily basis (!!!!)

we raise alert when mobile is compromised or stolen

Accommodation of M2M requires paradigm shift:

there will be a lot of M2M nodes, i.e. by orders of magnitude more

than humans

more and more applications are delay-intolerant, mainly control

there will be little traffic per node, and mainly in the uplink

nodes need to run autonomously for a long time

automated security & trust mechanisms

… and all this without jeopardizing current cellular services!


Machine-Type Communication (MTC)


Machine-Type Communication (MTC) - 1

Small data transmissions

Mobile originated only or infrequent mobile terminated

• Reduction of management control signaling

MTC Monitoring

• Detect unexpected behavior, movement or loss of connectivity, change of

location, failure in communications, etc.

• Subscriber should decide which events can be detected by server

• In case of event: notify the server or limit services provided by device

Priority Alarm (maximum priority among features)

• Case of theft or tampering, lack of connectivity, roaming not allowed, etc.

• Maximum priority for alarm traffic

Secure Connection

• Even in the case of a roaming device, secure connection shall be available

• The network shall enable the broadcast to a specific group of devices



Low Mobility

• Reduce frequency of mobility signaling

• Reduce reporting frequency

Time Controlled

• Combination of allowed and Forbidden periods

• Transmission of data during allowed time periods

• Avoid signaling out of these periods

• Allow transmission during forbidden periods subject to special

charges and without priority.

Time Tolerant

• Applications that can delay transmissions

• Useful to avoid the overloading of the network: restrict access to

delay tolerant MTCs during congestion periods



Location specific trigger

• Location information stored by the operator

• Reduction of mobility control signaling

Infrequent transmission

• The network shall allocate resources only when needed

• Apply duty cycling regarding connectivity (attach/detach)

Group based policing and addressing

• System optimized to handle GROUPS

• The system shall be able to apply combined QoS policy for a group of

devices

• Limit transmission rate (UL and DL) for a group of devices

• Broadcast and Multicast to a specific group of devices
