Focusing on the latest technological developments, Machine to Machine (M2M) Communications: A systems and market approach is an advanced introduction to this popular and rapidly evolving topic. It provides a global perspective on M2M services and the major telecommunications relevant technologies, with a focus on standards currently in progress by IETF, ETSI and 3GPP, the leading standards entities in telecommunication networks and solutions. The structure of the book is inspired by ongoing standards developments and uses a systems based approach for describing the problems which may be encountered, as well as offering some initial solutions. It follows a logical sequence beginning with an general introduction and then looking to the business of M2M, before moving to technology summary, standards overview and analysis as well as looking at service opportunities. The authors provide comprehensive technical information on M2M architecture, protocols and applications, especially in M2M service architecture, access and core network optimizations, M2M area networks technologies.The book addresses the end to end landscape for M2M including: M2M Devices (constrained and non constrained), M2M area networks (Home Area Networks, Body Area Networks, etc.), access and core network optimizations for M2M, the M2M Service Delivery Platform and M2M network applications. Providing an advanced introduction to this complex technical field, the book will provide an essential end to end overview of M2M and details on key areas for professionals working in the industry and advanced students.
