Cluster-Based Group Paging for Massive Machine Type Communications Under 5G Networks

Machine-type communications (MTCs) have been envisaged to play a key role within the future 5G cellular network. To handle the massive MTCs (mMTCs) and alleviate the congestion of the radio access network, the group paging (GP) scheme was proposed by the third-generation partnership project. However...
