Abstract

Machine-to-machine (M2M) communications emerge to autonomously operate to link interactions between Internet cyber world and physical systems. We present the technological scenario of M2M communications consisting of wireless infrastructure to cloud, and machine swarm of tremendous devices. Related technologies toward practical realization are explored to complete fundamental understanding and engineering knowledge of this new communication and networking technology front.
