Constraint Hubs Deployment for efficient Machine-Type-Communications

2018

Massive Internet of Things (mIoT) is an important use case of 5G. The main challenge for mIoT is the huge amount of uplink traffic as it dramatically overloads the radio access network (RAN). To mitigate this shortcoming, a new RAN technology has been suggested, where small cells are used for interconnecting different devices to the network. The use of small cells will alleviate congestion at the RAN, reduce the end-to-end (E2E) delay, and increase the link capacity for communications. In this paper, we devise three solutions for deploying and interconnecting small cells that would handle mIoT traffic. A realistic physical model is considered in these solutions. The physical model is based …
