“Low-power Wi-Fi provides a significant improvement over typical Wi-Fi on both latency and energy consumption counts.”“LP-Wifi consumes approx the same as 6LoWPAN for small packets but is much better for large packets.”
Accommodation of M2M requires paradigm shift: There will be a lot of M2M nodes More and more applications are delay-intolerant, mainly control There will be little traffic per node, and mainly in the uplink Nodes need to run autonomously for a long time Automated security & trust mechanisms
… and all this without jeopardizing current cellular services!
Lack of M2M experience mobile operators are experts in human-to-human (H2H) M2M is a new market and a mental shift is required
High operational costs the network has to be dimensioned for a number of devices that just transmit few
bits of information from time to time
Low Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) Fragmentation and complexity of applications Lack of standardization (so far) Competition from other (emerging) technologies
OFDMA (downlink) + SC-FDMA (uplink) Robust to multipath Flexible spectrum allocation (adjusting number of subcarriers) Efficient receiver implementations Simple MIMO implementation in frequency domain freq. diversity gain
Quicker RTT & throughput Both TDD and FDD duplexing modes Variable bandwidth (1.4 to 20MHz) Spectral Efficiency (x3) Simplified Architecture lower CAPEX and OPEX More User Capacity (x10)
LTE-A (Releases 10-11-12): LTE + new features + M2M support DL: 1Gbps, UL: 500 Mbps.
Standards for Cellular M2M Industry has become more active in standardizing M2M:
Because of the market demand Essential for long term development of technology For interoperability of networks Ability to “roam” M2M services over international frontiers
Due to potentially heavy use of M2M devices and thus high loads onto networks, interest from: ETSI TC M2M and recently oneM2M Partnership Project 3GPP (GSM, EDGE GPRS, UMTS, HSPA, LTE) IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX)

Erik Brynjolfsson (director of the MIT Center for Digital Busines) says: “there is no economic law that says that technological progress needs to benefit everybody, or even that it needs to benefit a majority of people. It’s entirely possible for technology to advance, to make the pie bigger, and yet for some people to get a smaller share of that pie.”

Automotive: What the OEMs say…
1. There is a disconnect between mobile and automotive industry lifecycles2. Regulation will be a major driving force3. Built-in versus brought-in connectivity continues to divide OEMs4. Collaborative business models must be developed between operators and OEMs5. The Connected Car will cause an upheaval in the traditional dealership model6. The Connected Car will lead to new types of ownership models being developed7. Autonomous vehicles are not on the immediate agenda for most OEMs8. Payment models for how consumers pay for Connected Car services are still not
yet developed9. Manufacturers remain cautious towards the open app ecosystem10. A connected lifestyle is a given

Technology: commercial issues
• There are a diverse range of technologies that can support “M2M” connections, including:o PLMN cellular – GSM, CDMA, UMTS, LTE, WiMAX etc.o Low-power wide area networks – SigFox, Weightlesso Short-range – Zigbee, Z-Wave, DSRC, Etherneto Wide-area fixed technologies – DSL, Cableo Other – Mesh, Broadband Powerline, Satellite
• Many solutions incorporate more than one technology
Machina Research 87
Technology: commercial issues
• Technology choice will typically be determined by a trade-off between price and functionality (including availability)
• Price issues will be associated with both the device and the connectivity
• Cellular devices have large associated licensing fees, as well as typically expensive data plans (next slide)
• With cellular, wider networks economics is influencing network sunsetting
• Cellular networks are sunk costs and M2M often doesn’t need to reflect capex here
• Does the revenue opportunity reflect the cost of network deployment?
