Expanding LTE for Devices
www.ict-exalted.eu
The aim of EXATED is to realise the vision of a new scalable network architecture supporting the challenging
requirements of future wireless communication systems and providing secure energy-efficient, and cost-effective
machine-to-machine (M2M) communications suitable for low end devices.
Research Areas
 LTE-M: extending the scalability of the LTE architecture up
to very cost sensitive “mobile narrow band applications” and
supporting efficient M2M communication with wide area
coverage
 Advanced mobile networking capabilities that will
establish a comprehensive end-to-end (E2E) architecture for
M2M systems as a stepping stone towards Future Internet of
Things
 Low cost automated security and provisioning solutions
for M2M over LTE
 Device improvement enabling enhanced autonomy in the
scope of M2M services.
Work Approach
 Identifying use cases, scenarios, technical requirements,
and business models (WP2).
 Specification of LTE-M, extension to LTE for M2M devices.
Backward compatible to LTE Rel.8 (WP3).
 E2E M2M system. Definition of packet data protocols between
LTE-M and capillary networks, IP networking, device
management, traffic aggregation and network monitoring (WP4).
 Definition of low cost automated authentication and device
provisioning solutions for efficient and secure M2M
communications over LTE network (WP5).
 Implementation techniques for power efficiency, reliability
and secure M2M devices with self diagnostic feature while
considering benefits of LTE-M access network (WP6).
 Integration and proof of concepts. Validation of the EXALTED
concepts for the prioritized use cases and scenarios (WP7).

Expected Impacts
 Accelerate the development of M2M communications in
combination with broadband wireless access systems, hence
strengthening the position of the European industry as supplier
for advanced communication infrastructure.
 Trigger enhanced M2M applications in health care, industrial
processes, and remote monitoring, as well as enable new
business opportunities
 Use the results to shape the development of
standardisation of M2M communications in 3GPP, ETSI
M2M, and other forums.
 Develop key technical features.
