5G cellular networks must accommodate large amounts of M2M devices, which communicate infrequently and with small payloads, but feature extremely dense deployments. Thus, to support M2M, random access protocols must be used, for they allow low-overhead medium access coordination. In the thesis, we revisit random access with a resource- and application- centric approach. We attempt to bring random access up-to-date with advanced resource management of 5G networks. On the same time, we design new application-aware performance metrics and protocols for random access.
