Machine-to-Machine Communication: A heterogeneous Internet-of-Things testbed (Master thesis)
Grigoriou, Elisavet
Machine-to-machine (M2M) communications are used to realize successful
connections between Internet and our physical world. The era of M2M communications has
come and refers to communication devices that operate under the complete absence or with
minimal human intervention. The role of M2M is to create the conditions to enable a device
to exchange information with an application via a communication network. The current
Master Thesis is part of the “Smartworld” project in CTTC in Barcelona. SmartWorld is an
End-to-End (E2E) demonstration platform for the Internet of Things (IoT). SmartWorld
heterogeneous testbed is formed by different types of M2M devices and sincethe beginning
of October 2014, two sensor technologies are integrated, PanStamp and Zolertia Z1.
Multiple radio access technologies such as 3G/4G, IEEE 802.15.4, WiFi and SIGFOX are
supported. Sensor data is transmitted via different radio communication technologies to the
Internet cloud , where information is stored and analyzed. Finally, all collected data can be
retrieved from an Android application running in a tablet, in order to implement end-user
applications like smart parking.
