Abstract
Machine Type Communications (MTC) networks
need to resolve the key issues of massive access requirements,
small data transmissions and diversity in Quality of service
(QoS) requirements. The prominent approaches to address these
challenges involve the use of MTC Gateways (MTCGs) as access
points to the network, the use of MTC Devices (MTCDs) as
relays and QoS clustering at the eNodeB. The MTCG-based
approaches generally envision communication between MTCDs
and the eNodeB through the MTCG only, for all MTCDs within
the range of an MTCG. In this paper, we propose to divide
MTCDs into delay-tolerant and delay-intolerant types, a process
we coin ”MTCD splitting”. The proposed approach involves
cluster formation, MTCD splitting and QoS-aware radio resource
allocation. Our simulation results show better performance in
terms of average throughput satisfaction and average QoS viola-
tion probability when MTCD splitting is employed as compared
to existing techniques without MTCD splitting.
