3GPP2 M2M
This study will include the following study targets:
 Provide network operators with lower operational complexities when
offering machine-type communication services
 Reduce the impact and effort of handling large machine-type
communication groups
 Optimize network operations to minimize impact on device battery power
usage
 Stimulate new machine-type communication applications by enabling
operators to offer services tailored to machine-type communication
requirements
This study of M2M Communication will identify enhancements to support a
machine-type data communication service, not specific M2M applications, and
will include enhancements of the radio and network interfaces.

3GPP2 M2M
Overview
 M2M Communication study will consider the benefits of mobile
communication to a data communication service that does not require
human interaction [known as Machine Type Communication].
 M2M Communication allows timely adjustments to remote equipment in
sparsely populated areas. M2M may also be applied to consumer-oriented
services to allow triggers to adjust settings for remote appliances and
personal equipment in order to enhance consumer convenience, and as
part of a broader green strategy to improve energy efficiencies for
individual users.

Target Scenarios for M2M Communication Services

Positive Impact of M2M Communication Services on Network Operational
Complexities
Improved Management of M2M Communication Groups

M2M Service subscribers will be able to assign multiple devices that can be
managed on an individual or group basis

Utilization of a broadcast message for the purpose of controlling the
grouped M2M devices or alerting such devices
Optimized Network and Terminal Operations to Reduce Battery Power Usage
Benefit to Offer M2M Communication Services

To reduce power consumption levels, an M2M device may want to schedule
periodic network-initiated messaging in support of an application so that
the device itself can maintain a known sleep cycle for longer periods of
time

Communication Model


The M2M applications use the client-sever communication model for the M2M
terminals to communicate with the M2M application servers on the network.

A M2M Client resides in a M2M terminal, while the M2M Server is on the operators’
Core network.
M2M Communication Adaptation Protocol


The M2M applications might utilize different ways of communications, such as
fixed wire network, WiFi, etc, whenever they are available and capable.

New M2M Terminal Class


Introducing new M2M terminal classes would help to separate M2M terminals from
existing CDMA mobile stations.

With those new M2M terminal classes, the optimization would be applicable to
the particular M2M terminals without impact existing mobile stations.

New classes would also help to distinguish M2M applications.
