Chapter 34 Resource Allocation in Co-Operative Relay Networks for IOT Driven Broadband Multimedia Services Javaid A. Sheikh, Mehboob-ul- Amin, Shabir A. Parah, and G. Mohiuddin Bhat 34.1 Introduction The Internet of Things (IoT) is considered to future revolutionary step in the cellular technology. IoT services are predicted as a key parameter for further push in the growth in cellular technology. It has been estimated that about 30 billion cellular IOT based connected devices will be deployed by 2025 and also 7 billion Low- Power Wide-Area (LPWA) modules are predicted to account in 2025. Cellular based IOT is likely to offer services like service meters, machines for retailing, automotive marine management, smart traffic system, traffic information in real time to the vehicle in automotive sector, security reporting and critical and other medical services. To enable these services the cellular IOT requires the following parameters: • Battery life should be large • Cost of the devices should be low • Deployment cost should be as minimum as possible • Extended network coverage • Handling capability for support of large number of devices This chapter presents a cellular LTE based IoT solution that meets above mentioned requirements and enhances the core and radio and networks. The prime necessity of any radio network needs to work with simple and low cost devices. The future networks need to work in cohesion with the transmission and higher layer J. A. Sheikh · M.-u.
