Machine-to-Machine in Smart Cities: Vision, Technologies & Applications

Prof Mischa Dohler, King’s College London, UK

Abstract: The aim of this keynote is to provide academic, technical and industrial insights into latest key aspects of wireless M2M networks, with particular application to the emerging smart city vertical. Notably, I will provide an introduction to the particularities of M2M systems. Architectural, technical and privacy requirements, and thus applicable technologies will be discussed. I will dwell on the capillary and cellular embodiments of M2M. The focus of capillary M2M, useful for real-time data gathering in cities, will be on IEEE (.15.4e) and IETF (6LoWPAN, ROLL, COAP) standards compliant low-power multihop networking designs; furthermore, low power Wifi will be dealt with and positioned into the eco-system of capillary M2M. The focus of cellular M2M will be on latest activities, status and trends in leading M2M standardization bodies with technical focus on ETSI M2M and 3GPP LTE-MTC. Open technical challenges, along with the industry’s vision on Smart Cities & M2M and its shift of industries, will be discussed during the talk.
