Abstract

This paper describes scheduling and processing of congested packets in massive Machine Type Communications (MTC). When there are too many uplink packets, it may cause congestions in the Radio Access Network (RAN) and the Evolved Packet Core (EPC). To solve this problem, we propose a Critical Random Early Detection (CRED) method to compute the current average queue length for each process to determine whether a packet needs to be discarded or not to prevent from congestions. The proposed method is evaluated through NS-2 simulations.
