Abstract

This talk presents the concept of Machine to Machine (M2M) communications and describes key emerging applications expected to be enabled by M2M. Existing and emerging standards are briefly reviewed for both access networks and mobile networks to support M2M communications. These include 802.15.4e and 802.11ah standards for access networks and enhancements of LTE mobile network standards. Technical challenges of M2M are described for both access and mobile networks. An overview of emerging 5G standards is given including a discussion of issues being addressed to enable the support of M2M communications and applications. The challenges of big data presented by M2M applications are also discussed in terms of cloud support and virtualisation.

 

 

About the Speaker

Professor Eryk Dutkiewicz has over 25 years of industrial and academic research experience. He obtained his Bachelor of Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Adelaide, Australia in 1988, his Master of Science in Applied Mathematics from the University of Adelaide, Australia in 1992 and his PhD  (Telecommunications) from the University of Wollongong, Australia in 1996. He began his research career at OTC R&D Laboratories in Sydney in 1988 working on pioneering broadband networking technologies. From 1999 to 2004 he worked at Motorola Laboratories in Sydney where he managed a wireless research laboratory. During that time he was also deeply involved in the development of various wireless standards, including those for the popular WiFi technology. Since returning to academia in 2004 he has worked closely with industry partners including Motorola, Agere Systems, Freescale Semiconductor, Infineon Technologies, and Intel. He joined Macquarie University in 2008 as a Professor of Wireless Communications and established the Wireless Communications and Networking Laboratory. He is also the Director of the Macquarie University WiMed Research Centre which focuses on researching medical implant technologies. Prof. Dutkiewicz is currently the Principle Investigator on the 5G Dynamic Spectrum Sharing project funded by Intel Corporation. He is an author of over 200 research papers and several book chapters.
