Global mobile data traffic grew 69% between 2013 and 2014 and reached 2.5 exabytes (EBs) per month at the end of 2014. Global Internet traffic increased 2900% between 2000 and 2014. Almost 500 million mobile devices and connections were added in 2014, including 439 million smartphones. By 2018, 10 billion mobile connections will generate more than 15 EB of traffic [Cisco]. The massive traffic growth is also driven by cloud computing, smart grid, health care, logistics, automation, Netflix and many others. Moreover, current human-to-human (H2H) connections will be complemented by Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine-to Machine (M2M), which will introduce more than 50 billion online devices by 2020 that need wireless connections. The coexistence of H2H and M2M imposes additional and diverse requirements.
