Abstract

One of the distinctive characteristics of machine-type communication(MTC)is the huge amount and high density of devices. This paper mainly studied the performance of massive machine-type communication based on long term evolution(LTE) system. Firstly, the characteristics of MTC were introduced and the limits of LTE system were analyzed to support for massive MTC communication by the case of meter reading in Urban Beijing scenario. And then it was deduced that random-access resources and scheduling resources would be limited in massive MTC communication by using LTE system, which would lead to a loss of MTC subscribers. At last a MTC system-level simulation platform was set up to simulate the influence of different amount of devices and scheduling resources on the system throughput, delay, access collision probability, etc. Simulation results verified the conclusion of theoretical analysis.
