Indeed, Aloha is a very thousands of connected nodes and one base station is one of simple strategy, where the MAC layer directly transmits any these main requirements, hence the necessity to imagine new message produced by the application layer. Easy to implement solutions, or to adapt existing ones, for medium access control. and without any strong synchronization requirements, Aloha In this paper, we start by comparing two classical medium access was the obvious choice for new technologies, such as Sigfox control protocols, CSMA/CA and Aloha, in the context of Internet of Things dedicated networks.

However, these technologies also needed to specific adaptation of Aloha, already used in low-power wide area cope with the well known poor scalability of Aloha; this was networks, where no acknowledgement messages are transmitted done by over-provisioning, the temporal Aloha space being in the network. Finally, we apply the same concept to CSMA/CA, expanded in the frequency domain (e.g. in Sigfox) or in the showing that this can bring a number of benefits. The results we code domain (e.g. in LoRa).

Of all the tremendous advances in data communications and telecommunica- tions, perhaps the most revolutionary is the development of cellular networks. Cellular technology is the foundation of mobile wireless communications and supports users in locations that are not easily served by wired networks. Cellular technology is the underlying technology for mobile telephones, personal communications systems, wireless Internet and wireless Web appli- cations, and much more. We begin this chapter with a look at the basic principles used in all cellular networks. Then we look at specific cellular technologies and stan- dards, which are conveniently grouped into four generations. Finally, we examine LTE-Advanced, which is the standard for the fourth generation, in more detail. 10.1 PRINCIPLES OF CELLULAR NETWORKS Cellular radio is a technique that was developed to increase the capacity available for mobile radio telephone service. Prior to the introduction of cellular radio, mobile radio telephone service was only provided by a high-power transmitter/ receiver.

Cellular Technology enables mobile communication because they use of a complex two-way radio system between the mobile unit and the wireless network. 2. It uses radio frequencies (radio channels) over and over again throughout a market with minimal interference, to serve a large number of simultaneous conversations. 3. This concept is the central tenet to cellular design and is called frequency reuse. Basic Network Design Frequency Reuse and Planning 1. Repeatedly reusing radio frequencies over a geographical area. 2. Most frequency reuse plans are produced in groups of seven cells.
