M2M2014


IEEE International Workshop on M2M Communications for Next Generation IoT

Collocated with IEEE ICC 2014, June 10th, 2014, Sydney, Australia

There has been a great deal of interest in the machine-to-machine (M2M) communications and Internet-of-Things (IoT) recently. Billions of M2M devices are expected to be connected, and a major portion of them are through wireless media. M2M communication is expected to open doors for new type of applications and services that include smart metering, telemetry, surveillance, healthcare, transportation, utilities, and remote maintenance and control. These applications and services demands communication protocols that are different from the traditional communication protocols used in human-to-human networks. Research activities are ongoing in academia, and industry. M2M communication standards have been actively developed in standard bodies (e.g. ETSI TC M2M, OMA Lightweight M2M, IETF CoAP, 6LowPAN, 3GPP machine-type-communications, IEEE 802.16p, etc).The goal of this workshop is to bring various state-of-the-art research activities in academia and industry together and understand the future M2M communication requirements and potentials.
