Machine-Type Communications

Machine-Type communications (MTC) enable many devices to access and communicate with an access point (AP) in an Internet-of-Things (IOT) network. Unlike human-type communications (HTC), MTC requires low delay and low control overhead to support a huge number of devices with low activity. MTC has many potential applications for

• 5G wireless communications

• Internet-of-Things (IoT)

• Smart grid

• Mobile healthcare network (MHN)

• etc.

Our research Interests include

• Compressive sensing based random access scheme for MTC

• Pilot design for joint detection and channel estimation

• Security issues in MTC

• Applications to smart grid and MHN
