Abstract
With an increasing number of connected devices and the coming wave of Internet of Things services, it is important to understand how the modern communication networks will cope with the additional traffic load. In this paper, an analysis of several Internet of things scenarios as envisioned by the FP7 SENSEI project have been performed to understand how the traffic is being generated in each of the scenarios. Based on the analysis, a traffic model is derived and then used to assess its impact on wireless mobile networks from the networks’ dimensioning point of view. The results of this analysis are then presented
