Mobile networks were traditionally designed and optimized to transport connection-oriented traffic, where each connection is expected to be continuous with low latency. On the other hand, many IoT services are intended to be of low throughput, short duration and delay tolerant and characterized to be “connectionless.” As such while the existing mobile network operators start studying and optimizing their networks to accommodate the dynamics of growing IoT traffic, some companies start developing possible alternatives for IoT services.
