Massive MIMO facilitates the potential drive behind the next generation communication systems, the most awaiting 5G technology. 5G technology aim at Human to Human communication with high data rate as well as the evolution of technologies like Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine-to- Machine (M2M) communication, which can change the face of current communication systems. M2M communications deals with low data rate and short packet transmissions requiring a good quality of service. This also demands congestion free multiple access with low control signaling overhead. This work mainly concentrated on studying the possible supporting techniques for a high performance Massive M2M system under 3GPP standard. Along with that need to reduce the control signaling overhead in M2M communication system is addressed.
