Efficient data transmission scheme for MTC communications in LTE system

Abstract

Machine type communication (MTC) is becoming an important part of the cellular network, such as long-term-evolution (LTE) network. Diverse MTC applications are going to be realized in LTE network due to the advantages of better coverage and lower deployment cost. However, a large number of MTC devices desiring to transmit short data will cause overloaded in the radio access network (RAN). As a solution, this paper proposes an efficient data transmission scheme for MTC devices to transmit data in order to minimize the impact from MTC communications on standard LTE network.
