A Survey: Hybrid Medium Access Control Protocol for M2M Communication

Abstract

Machine type communication is the promising technology for future generation of communication system. This communication model facilitates pervasive communications along with full mechanical automation. These characteristics of M2M communication affects all the layers in the network stack and make network support for (M2M) communications, which is a challenging field of research at different levels. This can be considered as the part of Internet of Things (IoT). To understand Hybrid MAC protocol for machine-to-machine (M2M) communication thoroughly, this paper represents the comprehensive review in terms of its system model, its architecture. Further, we have explore distinct MAC protocols and specific medium access control (MAC) protocols for M2M communication. Finally we discussed the different performances parameters of Hybrid medium access control (MAC) protocol for M2M communication along with the open field of research.
