Cellular Internet of Things: Technologies Standards and Performance

Cellular Internet of Things: Technologies, Standards and Performance gives insight into the recent work performed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) to develop systems for the Cellular Internet of Things. It presents both the design of the new Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) technology and how GSM and LTE have evolved to provide Cellular Internet of Things services.

The criteria used for the design and objectives of the standardization work are explained, and the technical details and performance of each technology is presented. This book discusses the overall competitive landscape for providing wireless connectivity, also introducing the most promising technologies in the market.

Users will learn how cellular systems work and how they can be designed to cater to challenging new requirements that are emerging in the telecom industry, what the physical layers and procedures in idle and connected mode look like in EC-GSM-IoT, LTE-M, and NB-IoT, and what the expected performance of these new systems is in terms of expected coverage, battery lifetime, data throughput, access delay time and device cost.

Learn:

• How cellular systems work, and how they can be designed to cater for challenging new requirements emerging in the telecom industry.
• How the physical layers and the procedures in idle and connected mode look like in EC-GSM-IoT, LTE-M, and NB-IoT.
• What the expected performance of these new systems is in terms of expected coverage, battery lifetime, data throughput, access delay time, and device cost.
• How the Low-Power-Wide-Area IoT market segment looks like and how different available solutions compare in terms of performance and compatibility with already existing radio networks.
• What system capacity and network level performance can be achieved when deploying these new systems, and in addition what deployment options are possible.

• Provides a detailed introduction to the EC-GSM-IoT, LTE-M and NB-IoT technologies
• Presents network performance of the 3GPP cellular technologies, along with an analysis of the performance of non-cellular alternatives operating in unlicensed spectrum
• Includes prediction of true performance levels using state-of-the-art simulation models developed in the 3GPP standardization process

  Learn the technologies and standards defining the Cellular Internet of Things!

  Cellular Internet of Things: Technologies, Standards, and Performance gives an insight into the recent and rapid work performed by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) to develop systems for the Cellular Internet of Things. It presents both the design of the new Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) technology and how Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) and Long-Term Evolution (LTE) have evolved to provide Cellular Internet of Things services. The criteria used for the design and the objectives of the standardization work are explained, while the technical details and performance of each technology are presented.

  This book discusses the overall competitive landscape for providing wireless connectivity for the Internet of Things and introduces a few of the most promising proprietary technologies operating in the market, providing a comparison between these and the solutions standardized in 3GPP. Finally, a glance of how Cellular Internet of Things fits into the vision of a fifth generation communication system will be provided.
