Popis: | The 3GPP has introduced a new narrowband radio technology called narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) in Release 13. NB-IoT was designed to support very low power consumption and low-cost devices in extreme coverage conditions. NB-IoT operates in very small bandwidth and will provide connectivity to a large number of low-data-rate devices. This article highlights some of the key features introduced in NB-IoT and presents performance results from real-life experiments. The experiments were carried out using an early-standard-compliant prototype based on a software defined radio partial implementation of NB-IoT that runs on a desktop computer connected to the network. It is found that a cloud radio access network is a good candidate for NB-IoT implementation. |
