ABSTRACT
The market for human-to-human (H2H) communication will soon be saturated because about 70% of the world population is already connected through mobile telephony [1]. The next era for wireless communication will be driven by extending wireless connections to machines, where currently only 1% of the total 50 billion machines have the ability to connect [2]. The future machine type communication (MTC) market will be fueled by a wide variety of applications that this technology enables. Machine to machine (M2M) applications can be roughly grouped into nine categories: home, vehicle, e-health, telemetry, fleet management, tracking, finance, maintenance, and security [3].
