Abstract: In addition to-human-to-human communications, an emerging technology enabling full mechanical automation,
Internet of Things (IoT), is being developed. Communications among machine-type devices are known as machine-to-machine (M2M) communications. Current market penetration and recent predictions confirm that M2M system deployments are increasing exponentially.This is driven by the needs of industries to automate their real-time monitoring and control processes as well as the increasing popularity of smart applications to improve the living style. Owing to low power, cost efficiency and low human intervention, M2M communication has become a huge force for a number of wide variety of real-time applications such as smart grid, IP multimedia subsystem, environmental monitoring,remote
health care,industrial automation.
Leading standardization bodies, such as ITU, ETSI, 3GPP, Telecommunication Industry Association (TIA) and the Chinese Communications Standard Association (CCSA) have commensed work on satisfying some M2M constraints, while not jeopardizing current cellular system usage for human-based applications. In 2009, ETSI launched an M2M technical committee to actively look into architectural design, while 3GPP is incorporating M2M through its machine type communications (MTC) designs, coexisting with human type communications (HTC). However, without guaranteed energy efficiency, reliability and security, M2M communications cannot be widely accepted.
In the first part of this survey, the end-to-end architecture is analyzed. M2M system architecture design work is focused on providing both basic functionalities (registration and message handling) and various advanced functionalities (interworking with other systems). To achieve this, one M2M defines a common service layer providing M2M services,which is independent of the underlying networks. The second part contains the influence of M2M system on the smart grid, including the network architecture for home management system. In particular, M2M technology and IP multimedia subsystem
analysis,together with security requirements for M2M communications are provided. The M2M service platform itself is an asset that requires appropriate security measures to protect its availability as well as integrity and non-repudiation of service messages to support charging. An expected added value of an M2M service platform in terms of security is to hide transport network specificities,while relying on them when possible and completing them to expose end-to-end security services to the applications.
