| Abstract | The current establishment of the Internet of Things is in essence accompanied by a strong increase of connected devices. By the ubiquitous and almost always autonomous nature of these objects, this increase quickly leads us to the emergence of massive wireless Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications. Recent forecasts reveal that in 2020, there will be 10 to 100 times more machine type devices than mobile phones. Since current cellular networks are not implemented to support this evolution, many studies are currently discussed to tackle the challenges involved by the massive M2M challenges. Thus many research directions exist, from the exploitation of signal correlations to the optimization of channel access protocols. The aim of this paper is to focus on the evolution of a certain type of channel access protocol: the contention based Random Access Channel. Since the first implementation of the ALOHA protocol in 1971, many improvements such as the utilization of Contention Tree Algorithms or the use of Successive Interference Cancellation mechanisms, contributed to enhance this kind of protocols. We provide here the sufficient tools and knowledge necessary to understand and perform the performances analysis of this segment of the actual challenges of massive M2M communications. |
