Abstract

As machine-to-machine applications using cellular systems become pervasive, it is an important concern that their deployment does not jeopardize the performance of the cellular systems. Support for a massive number of machines brings technical challenges affecting the performance of the random access channel and efficiency of radio resource allocation. Capillary networks are considered as an extensions to the cellular systems for providing large-scale connectivity. This paper proposes an aggregation scheme for capillary networks connected to the LTE network to improve their communication efficiency. A gateway, an intermediate unit between machines and the base station, aggregates packets from the machines during a predefined time, and then delivers them to the LTE network. In addition, this paper analyzes the trade-offs between random access interaction, resource allocation, and communication latency. Results reveals that accepting the extra latency for accumulating packets can significantly reduce the random access requests and the required resources for the data transmissions.
