Currently, many sensor data networks are managed using machine‐to‐machine (M2M) or machine type communications (MTCs) technologies. One of the key factors for the success of sensor data networks is in developments of international M2M/MTC standards. As third generation partnership project (3GPP) and oneM2M are actively working on standardising M2M/MTC specifications for 3GPP core networks and M2M common service layer, this study reviews the ongoing activities in 3GPP and oneM2M standardisation bodies, in the area of machine type or M2M communications, focusing on enhancing device, service platform, and mobile network technologies that can be useful in achieving cost efficiencies in sensor data networks.
