Performance evaluation of random access for M2M communication on IEEE 802.16 network

M2M communication is information exchange between machines and machines without any human interaction. Standardization activities related to M2M communication are proceeding in many organizations due to the much applicability of M2M communication in various fields. One of the main issues for the M2M communication based on cellular network is the extremely large number of devices in service coverage. In cellular network which support contention-based random access scheme for network entry, the large number of devices lead to the problem in network entry process. For efficient network entry operation, new performance evaluation of random access for M2M communication on cellular network is needed.
