In the near future, with the development of machine to machine (M2M) communication service providers may see a spike in traffic degrading the quality of service (QoS). With the addition of several M2M devices it is expected to create conditions for overload in the RAN (Radio Access Network) and Core Network in 3GPP LTE networks. There are many studies that examine various characteristics of M2M communication
devices including protecting the physical devices, authentication methods, congestion controls, privacy protection and many others. However, congestion will be a persistent problem with the increased devices and is the focus of this paper. There are researches on the methods to control congestion, however this
paper is considering increasing availability through reducing total bytes transmitted and thus avoiding or reducing overload and congestion in LTE network. In this paper, we have proposed and tested various optimizing mechanisms for reducing the signalling traffic and bandwidth utilization thus decreasing the
overload in the LTE architecture.
