Machine-to-Machine (M2M)
THE Mobile Broadband Standard
M2M is recognized as a key segment in future packet networks
Initial 3GPP efforts have focused on the ability to differentiate machine-type
devices
• This allows the operator to selectively handle such devices in overload situations
• Low priority indicator has been added to the relevant UE-network procedures
• Overload and Congestion control is done on both core network and radio access
network based on this indicator
Functions for device triggering and small data transmission have been added
Still a lot to do…

THE Mobile Broadband Standard
Proximity Services and
Public Safety
Proximity-based applications and services represent a recent
and enormous social-technological trend
• These applications and these services are based on the awareness that
two devices or two users are close to each other
• Awareness of proximity carries value, and generates demand for an
exchange of traffic between them
Direct device-to-device communication is also essential for
Public Safety services
• Necessary LTE enhancements to support Public Safety functions are
expected to be added in Rel-12/Rel-13
• Regional regulators need to progress the spectrum band aspects

Regulatory features – disaster
response
Recent events have brought the different disaster response
functions of the 3G/4G networks to the forefront
• Public Warning System (PWS) provides a secure framework
for delivering Warning Messages to the devices
• The Japanese version of this system saved thousands of lives in last
year’s earthquake/tsunami disaster
• Priority Services
• Mechanisms have been standardized to allow priority access to the
network services (voice calls, Internet, multimedia calls, etc…) for
e.g. government officials in the event of a mass disaster
