论文摘要
在国际上漫游的事物对物联网（IoT）垂直行业至关重要，从连接的汽车到智能电表和可穿戴设备，并解释了机器对机器（M2M）平台的商业成功。我们分析了通过IoT SIMS连通性运行的IoT垂直行业，并介绍了用于能量表的商业IoT Sims的首次大规模研究。我们还介绍了操作M2M平台的第一个表征，以及对相当不透明相关的生态系统的首次分析。对于运营商而言，物联网的指数增长意味着增加了与传统漫游交通共享的基础设施的压力。我们的分析量化了M2M平台漫游及其对基础访问的移动网络运营商（MNOS）的影响。为了管理使用IoT SIM的大规模部署设备部署的影响，操作员必须能够区分后者和传统的入站漫游器。我们建立了一个全面的数据集，以捕获三个星期的欧洲大型MNO的设备人群。这样，我们提出并验证一种分类方法，该方法可以使操作员能够区分入站漫游的物联网设备。
Support for things roaming internationally has become critical for Internet of Things (IoT) verticals, from connected cars to smart meters and wearables, and explains the commercial success of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) platforms. We analyze IoT verticals operating with connectivity via IoT SIMs, and present the first large-scale study of commercially deployed IoT SIMs for energy meters. We also present the first characterization of an operational M2M platform and the first analysis of the rather opaque associated ecosystem. For operators, the exponential growth of IoT has meant increased stress on the infrastructure shared with traditional roaming traffic. Our analysis quantifies the adoption of roaming by M2M platforms and the impact they have on the underlying visited Mobile Network Operators (MNOs). To manage the impact of massive deployments of device operating with an IoT SIM, operators must be able to distinguish between the latter and traditional inbound roamers. We build a comprehensive dataset capturing the device population of a large European MNO over three weeks. With this, we propose and validate a classification approach that can allow operators to distinguish inbound roaming IoT devices.
