摘要：With the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) and smart cities, the amount of connected devices is on the rise. The communication medium perfectly suited for interconnecting all the massive machine-type communications (mMTC) is long-term evolution advanced (LTE-A). The design in this paper consists of relay stations (RSs) that are connected to the base stations (BSs). The radio access network (RAN) will consist of a base station/eNodeB (eNB) with one or two hops of RS. The machine-to-machine (M2M) communication considered here is of the type of smart meters and sensors data calls. These calls are handled according to their delay-tolerant capability. The proposed (PR-M2M) scheme assigns resources with priority without reserving the resources. The Vienna LTE Downlink level simulator is used to investigate the operation of the proposed scheme. The packet-dropping probability and average throughput of the system are simulated with other existing schemes in the studied literature. The results obtained from the simulation indicate that the PR-M2M outperformed existing schemes.
