Abstract

Massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC) has attracted increasing attention due to the explosive growth of IoT devices. Random Access (RA) for a large number of mMTC devices is especially difficult since the high signaling overhead between User Equipments (UEs) and an eNB may overwhelm the available spectrum resources. To address this issue, we propose “respond by hint” (r-Hint), an ID-free handshaking protocol for contention-based RA in mMTC. The core idea of r-Hint is to avoid sequentially notifying contending UEs of their IDs by broadcasting a hint in the RA Response (RAR). To do so, we exploit the concept of prime factorization and hashing to encode the hint such that UEs can extract their required information accordingly. Our simulation results show that r-Hint reduces the RAR message size by 20%–40%. Such reduction can be translated to around 50% improvement of spectrum efficiency in LTE-M.
