Machine-to-machine (M2M) communications has emerged as a new communication paradigm that allows intelligent devices/machines to directly communicate with each other with little or no human intervention. M2M communications has inspired a wide variety of applications in home, building, health, smart grid, industrial, transportation and defense. Comparing to existing human-to-human communications networks, M2M communications networks have different attributes and face many unique challenges that cannot be addressed by existing network protocols.

In this project, we develop advanced signal processing algorithms and network protocols for large-scale M2M communications networks based on advanced coding theory and cross-layer optimization tools. The research outcomes will lead to cost effective solutions in a multitude of emerging applications in future M2M communications networks.
