M2M communication is a form of data communication that involves one or more entities that do not necessarily require human interaction or intervention in the process of communication. M2M communication can be carried over cdma2000 1x or HRPD networks. In M2M communication, the cdma2000 role is largely confined to serving as transport, as well as performing other networking services (access security, accounting, QoS, etc). This document provides RAN considerations for M2M to guide the work of the enhancements required to the cdma2000 technology for the support of this feature. Purpose The purpose of this document is to provide a guide for optimized standards and message flows for Radio Access Network (RAN) interfaces for M2M communications.
