Abstract:
This paper proposes the mechanisms for Communication Service Providers (CSP) to boost the M2M/IoT monetization, enabled via upcoming Long Term Evolution (LTE) broadcast technology. LTE Broadcast will play a crucial role in delivering the multimedia services efficiently to smart devices (sensors, connected vehicles, smart phones) for long range communication including mission critical services. Relevant contents can be positioned strategically across different network nodes and accessed in an optimized manner to provide economical delivery model for business to business (B2B) and business to consumer (B2C) ecosystem. This paper further suggests mechanisms by which operators can monetize the cached data in the network by providing economical charging plans to the end customer. LTE broadcast based commercial deployment has already started since 2014 and is gaining traction across different verticals enabling reduced expenditure and providing enhanced customer experience.
