Abstract(in English) Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication has been paid much attention as a new communication paradigm to increasing wireless network traffic. When considering M2M devices are accommodated to mobile cellular networks, since the Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) for M2M devices is quite smaller than traditional cellular phones, the cost for accommodating M2M devices to the mobile cellular networks cannot be ignored for mobile network carriers. In this report, we apply a tunnel aggregation method to suppress the cost for accommodating M2M devices in the mobile cellular networks. The proposed method decreases the number of tunnels in mobile network system without compromising communication performances of terminals. We evaluate the performance of this method by mathematical analysis and show the basic characteristics. We also estimate the monetary cost for realizing the proposed method and reveal that it can reduce the cost by up to 80% compared with the traditional mobile core networks, while keeping the call blocking rate less than 0.1%.
