• Non-real time: The operator can reject the communication request of a device based on different
criteria and allow its connection in times of low traffic.
• Low data transmission: Devices to send or receive small amounts of data using as little signaling
as possible.

• Infrequent Finished Mobile (MT): MTC devices that mainly use mobile access and where the
operator can reduce the frequency of mobility management.
• MTC Monitoring: Monitor the behavior of an MTC device according to its characteristics such
as loss of connectivity or communication failures.

• Secure Connection: Ensure the connection between MTC devices and MTC servers.
• Group-based MTC features: Optimized management of all MTC devices belonging to the same
MTC group (control policies, IP addressing and others).

5.4.1 Urban Space Management

The accelerated implementation of heterogeneous IoT devices in public space such as environmental
sensors, sound level meters, Wi-Fi access points and cameras, has been carried out in many
cases without an established procedure, thus causing aesthetic problems, poor installations and
difficulties in the maintenance of these devices. In addition to the rapid growth of IoT in the public
space, new demands arise that need to be managed such as the deployment of 5G.

Ensuring efficient and scalable management of urban public space in the deployment of IoT
devices is a task that needs to be addressed based on the definition of a minimum set of technical
requirements such as the power supply of the devices their connectivity (see Figure 5) and certain
guidelines to rationalize the maintenance of this new infrastructure. The nature of these devices
requires, in many cases, the realization of investments, sometimes high, for their installation in
specific locations and highly specialized personnel in maintenance activities.
