3. What is M2M / IoT / WoT?
 Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications represent technological solutions
and deployments allowing Machines, Devices or Objects to communicate with
each other, w/o any human interventions
 IoT (Internet of things) – objects that communicate, send information (sensors)
and/or receive controls
 WoT – Object that communicate
via the Web, Cloud

11. Differences Between H2H and M2M

M2M / IoT
H2H
TOPICS
M2M outnumbers human end users by order of magnitude
There are a lot of us. But maybe not that much
compared to M2M potential
Entity #
Traffic is mainly uploaded and most of it requires small
amounts of bandwidth (video surveillance might require
more).
Most of the traffic is downloaded and requires
significant amounts of bandwidth (file, Web and
video streaming).
Data
Volume
Auto-generating power or be self-sustaining for long
periods.
We can buy a new one. We can recharge.
Battery
some applications are mainly for real-time control;
urgent/emergency action would have little tolerance.
We do have a tolerance for it even when it comes
to voice
Delay
Not so much here. Machine Communication Identity
Module (MCIM) in Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC)
or Trusted Environment (TRE).
Worth comes to worth. Instinct tells us or we just
know if it has been stolen.
security
Low ARPD.
Good.
Revenue
To be created/adapted, new opportunities on top of
common infrastructure.
Well defined.
Value Chain
Push/pull behavior. Might require longer dormant period,
minimize signaling on control plane.
satisfying.

15. LTE solve most of the problems
5G solve them all (?)
 LTE in unlicensed spectrum
 LTE enchantements for Machine-Type Communications (MTC)
 Enhancements for D2D
 Indoor positioning
 RCS
And even
 Power supply over radio
