This book introduces the concept of machine-type communication (MTC) for maritime Internet of Things. The first part of the book portrays a maritime MTC system from an architectural perspective and describes an MTC framework and the fundamental components, laying out a foundation that leads to an ultimate solution to the maritime IoT requirements and challenges.
The second part ties together all discussed in the first part and demonstrates how to apply it to a practical system through a realistic design example based on an international maritime mobile spectrum. The book serves as a comprehensive tutorial of the maritime MTC from the top (the network architecture) to the bottom (the air/radio interface and regulatory radio spectrum constraints), guiding readers to an easier understanding of the maritime MTC-related issues and the rationale behind the design. The primary readers of this book include maritime communication engineers, maritime IoT professionals, maritime academia, and the general MTC and IoT communities.
The backbone of IoT is the machine-type communication technology that provides wireless connectivity for massive IoT devices or “things.” It can be deemed the framework that the IoT network is hinged on. Machine-type communication (MTC), also known as machine-to-machine communication (M2M), is automated data communication among machines or things and, in principle, does not need human intervention. The communication may occur between an IoT device and an application server or directly between two or more IoT devices. A distinguishing characteristic of MTC from traditional human-type communication (HTC) is that the communication destination is typically not the “person of interest” but the “service of interest.” Maritime MTC is a special type of MTC with a specific application in maritime IoT. Like in the general IoT scenarios, most maritime applications and services require little or no human involvement and work even in the absence of human operators, particularly in adverse conditions. Compared to most terrestrial MTC systems, maritime MTC is more complex in coverage, deployment environment, and radio spectrum allocation.
