Figure 1. High level IEEE 802.16 M2M system architecture
Fig. 1 shows a high level IEEE 802.16 M2M system architecture. The M2M devices can communicate with
the M2M server or the M2M devices. The M2M user can communicate with the M2M server. The interface
between the M2M server and the M2M user is outside the scope of IEEE 802.16 M2M air interface
specification. All M2M devices shall be authenticated with the network. Communication between M2M
devices can be done via BS or directly depending on the application. In case of direct M2M device
communication, however, resources required for communication is managed by the BS.
