Radio resource control scheme for machine-to-machine communication in LTE infrastructure

Mechanism to support a massive number of machine-type-communication (MTC) devices in machine-to-machine (M2M) communication is crucial, because simultaneous concurrent transmission from massive MTC device yield in traffic congestion. This paper will tackle the congestion problem in Radio Access Network (RAN) that is happened in evolved Node-B (eNB) of Long Term Evolution (LTE) network. An adaptive mechanism to schedule the usage of radio resource is proposed, so that the congestion is alleviated. The mechanism ensures the network availability while targeting to maintain low delay and constant throughput. This mechanism facilitates devices to avoid continuous congestion in the next attempt of access.
