“…The MTC server is the end-target of the data sent by MTCDs. It receives data via the backhaul from the eNodeB and makes it available for access by human or machine type users through some application in Figure 1 [21], [22]. One of the important tasks of eNodeB in the LTE network is Radio Resource Management (RRM), which is the acceptance or rejection of network connection requests, ensuring optimal distribution of radio resources between terminals.…”

<span lang="EN-US">The introduction of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications in cellular networks creates a new set of challenges because of the unique service requirements and features of M2M devices. One of these challenges is the management of radio resources, especially on the uplink because of the unfairness and poor performance that occurs when allocating resources to users. Long Term Evolution (LTE) and LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) are excellent candidates for supporting M2M communications because of their native IP connectivity and scalability for a variety of devices. Therefore, LTE schedulers should be able to meet the needs of M2M devices such as time constraints and specific Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. In this paper, these constraints are studied and analyzed, focusing on three schedulers; they are Round Robin (RR), First Maximum Expansion (FME) and Maximum Throughput (MT). These methods do not provide QoS to users who use different types of traffic flows. The solution proposed in this work is a hybrid model between two schedulers each of them is the best scheduling solution for the real-time service and the other for the non-real-time service, in order to meet QoS criteria maximizing throughput and minimizing packet loss. Video and voip were selected as real-time traffic and best effort for non-real time. The simulations results show that the proposed scheduler reaches the lowest Packet Loss Rate (PLR), delivering highest throughput and goodput among the other strategies.</span>

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a new concept that is developed considerably in current wireless communications. The main idea of this paradigm is the exchange of information and data from real-world devices with the internet by using unique addressing systems can communicate and interact with each other to achieve common objectives. With the emergence of next generation battery-powered of smart mobile phone, open source application platforms, security and the terminal's energy consumption have become big issues. Long Term Evolution (LTE) is one of the most popular 4th Generation (4G) technologies defined by 3rd Generation Partnership Projects (3GPP) also IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is a prominent architectural framework for multimedia services delivery in 4G/5G networks. In this paper, we focus on IoT security in particular, we explore authentication that is a critical security mechanism which accords authorized users access to a network. It is observed that the end user requires two authentication steps to access multimedia services. The first is the LTE network layer authentication, and the second is the IMS service layer authentication. The authentication steps utilize energy and are carried out using the Authentication and Key Agreement (AKA) protocol. As defined by 3GPP, IMS-Authentication and Key Agreement protocol (IMS-AKA) is the official authentication procedure in IMS and the standard EPS-Authentication and Key Agreement protocol (EPS-AKA) is proposed to provide the authentication service between the device and the network in Evolved Packet System (EPS) system. However, the procedures are prone to different weaknesses both on security and performances aspects. This paper proposes a secure and efficient AKA protocol that authenticates the user on both the network layer and the service layer without double execution the AKA protocol, simplifies the authentication steps, protects user's identities and reduces the authentication process complexity due to the use of Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). The proposed solution was checked by the security protocol verification tool, Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications (AVISPA), which indicated that it is a very secure level. Simulation results showed that our proposed compared to IMS-AKA and EPS-AKA offers better performances in terms of energy consumption and storage cost.

“…The current EPS-AKA and EAP-AKA are not suitable for group authentication; they need to be modified to apply to the group authentication of MTC. In a previous work [11,12] we proposed two new group access authentication schemes, by which a huge number of MTC devices can be simultaneously authenticated by the network and establish an independent session key with the network respectively. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme can achieve robust security and avoid signalling overload on LTE networks.…”

The new Internet of Things (IoT) applications are enabling Smart City initiatives worldwide. It provides the ability to remotely monitor, manage and control devices. The main features of a smart city include privacy of users and security of communication. The distributed architecture of IoT aims at providing location awareness and low-latency interactions to Machine-to-Machine (M2M) applications. In this context, the Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology and its evolutions are expected to play a major role as a communication infrastructure that guarantees low deployment costs and embedded security, we show how a network deployment that exploits Deviceto-Device (D2D) communications and Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), currently under definition within 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) and non-3GPP access network, can be employed to support efficient communication between M2M devices (nodes and smart objects) and the core network in LTE system. In this paper, we propose a secure group model include different authentication mechanisms combined between D2D and WSN technologies that allow the protection of M2M devices through strong encryption and authentication means, so that devices can benefit from high security functionalities without however having to execute computationally intensive operations with a low communication complexity. The results obtained show that our model firstly solve the initial key establishment and integrity problems in the presence of the inside adversaries in networks and offers best performance than the standard Bluetooth in D2D link. Secondly our proposed examine the area of authentication for sensor networks by make a combination between algorithms such as TinyPK and Timed Efficient Stream Loss-Tolerant Authentication (TESLA) in order to secure the link between sensors and achieve a high levels of security.
