3. Enhanced Mobile Broadband. In July 2019, 3GPP Release 16 has confirmed that NB-IoT meets the KPI requirements of mMTC scenarios and included NB-IoT as a candidate 5G LPWA technology. NB-IoT, therefore, will continue evolving as part of the 5G specifications and coexist in the same networ...

3GPP has made major efforts in Release-13 and Release-14. For this purpose, 3GPP specified technologies such as eMTC (enhanced Machine-Type Communication), NB-IoT, and EC-GSM-IoT. The eMTC brings some LTE enhancements for MTC such as a new Power Save Mode (PSM). Release 14 brings new ...
(3GPP) in release 15 technical standard which was first published in 2018. It is designed to enhance the spectrum efficiency to meet the diverse needs of wireless communication applications, such as enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), massive machine type communications (mMTC) and ultra-reliable and...
Cisco Mobility Management Entity (MME) is critical to the network function of the 4G mobile core network, known as the evolved packet core (EPC). The MME resides in the EPC control plane and manages session states, authentication, paging, mobility with 3GPP, 2G and 3G nodes, roaming, and...
In order to support Low Power Wider Area (LPWA) access, 3GPP has defined Narrowband access technology that operates over the 128 Khz spectrum. C-SGN supports the NB-IoT Access types. This new technology provides improved indoor coverage, support o...
However, this method requires the support of multiple active BWPs. As mentioned above, it was decided R15 NR does not support multiple active BWPs for the time being. 3GPP finally adopted a “carrier+BWP” two-layer configuration and activation for 5G NR. That is to say, BWP is a ...
7.1.2 NB-IoT NB-IoT is an access technology defined by 3GPP for massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC). NB-IoT implements several mMTC-oriented enhancements compared to other mobile technologies. Examples are: (i) narrow-band transmission and the exploitation of repetitions to reach devices in...
with minor enhancements described in Release 914. LTE is also known as 4G LTE, Advance 4G and 3.95G, since it does not meet the technical criteria of a 4G wireless service, as specified in the 3GPP Release 8 and 9 document series. It provides rates of 300 Mbps for downlink and 75 Mbps...
Ali Chehab, in Internet of Things, 2020 3.1 NB-IoT NB-IoT (Narrow Band IoT) is a LoPWAN technology mainly used by 3GPP cellular systems. NB-IoT is characterized with very low complexity and high throughput. This technology has been integrated also into the LTE system with some enhancements...
