Title
Throughput Optimization With Delay Guarantee for Massive Random Access of M2M Communications in Industrial IoT
Abstract
The machine-to-machine (M2M) communication is an emerging technology that is widely utilized in a vast number of industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT) applications. Due to the diversity of IIoT applications, provisioning of heterogeneous delay requirements of delay-sensitive machine type devices (MTDs) while optimizing the access efficiency of delay-tolerate MTDs becomes a critical challenge for M2M communications. To address this issue, a multigroup analytical framework for massive random access of M2M communications in IIoT is proposed in this article. Specifically, we consider delay-sensitive MTDs and delay-tolerate MTDs coexist in the network, and those MTDs are divided into multiple groups according to their delay requirements. The access behavior of each MTD is characterized by a double-queue model. Based on this model, the throughput and the mean access delay of each group are characterized. It is found that for each group, the mean access delay decreases as the throughput increases and is minimized when the throughput is maximized. To achieve the maximum throughput of delay-tolerate MTDs under delay constraints of delay-sensitive MTDs, the backoff parameters of delay-sensitive MTDs should be tuned according to the delay constraints while that of delay-tolerate MTDs should be tuned further according to the aggregate packet arrival rate and the number of MTDs in each group. It is further demonstrated that the optimal tuning of backoff parameters is robust against the burstiness of input traffic. The analysis sheds important light on the access design of M2M communications in IIoT with delay constraints.
