3. NarrowBand IOT
NB-IOT, a new narrowband radio technology to address the requirements of the
Internet of Things (IoT).
The new technology will provide improved indoor coverage, support of massive
number of low throughput devices, low delay sensitivity, ultra-low device cost,
low device power consumption and optimized network architecture.
The technology can be deployed “in-band”, utilizing resource blocks within a
normal LTE carrier, or in the unused resource blocks within a LTE carrier’s
guard-band, or “standalone” for deployments in dedicated spectrum.
NB-IOT advantages like wide area coverage, fast upgrade of existing network,
low-power consumption guaranteeing 10 year battery life, high coupling, low
cost terminal, plug and play, high reliability and high carrier-class network
security, unified business platform management.

4. NarrowBand IOT
NB-IOT perfectly matches LPWA market requirements, enabling operators to enter
this new field. Many mobile operators have set up dedicated IoT/M2M business
units in order to serve the growing number of market requirement.
There are several inherent characteristics of the NB-IOT technology that makes it
the best for LPWA deployment.
Performance point of view, NB-IOT guarantees 20+dB coverage, ~1000x
connections, ~10 years using only 200 KHz bandwidth
NB-IoT: the advantages of being part of 3GPP
1. Use of the LTE ecosystem, leading to fast development, economies of
scale, and global roaming
2. Can be deployed as a simple addition of new software to existing LTE
infrastructure
3. A management framework exists, enabling large-scale deployments
4. Framework includes state-of-the-art security
5. Future feature growth for MBB and NB-IoT use cases

6. NarrowBand IOT specification
Low device cost/complexity : <$5 per module
Extended coverage : 164 dB MCL, 20 dB better compared to GPRS
Long battery life : >10 years
Capacity : 40 devices/house ~55k devices per cell
Uplink report latency : <10 seconds
** low-end “Massive MTC” scenario

7. IoT system architecture
• Architecture is based on evolved Packet Core (EPC) used by LTE
• Cellular IoT User Equipment (CIoT UE) is the mobile terminal
• NB-IoT Authentication and core network signaling security as in normal LTE
• evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) handles the radio
communications between the UE and the EPC

9. NB-IoT NETWORK DEPLOYMENT
M2M access technology contained in 200 kHz with 3 deployments modes:
1. Stand-alone operation
2. Operation in LTE “guard band’
3. Operation within wider LTE carrier
(aka inband)
•Standalone deployment is mainly utilizes new bandwidth
• where as guard band deployment is done using the bandwidth reserved in the guard band of the
existing LTE network,
•In Band on the other hand makes use of the same resource block in the LTE carrier of the existing LTE
network
In summary, Standalone and Guard band deployment options tend to offer the best performance in terms
of improved indoor coverage, FDMA (GMSK) also offers about 20% power consumption saving and lower
cost.

10. NB-IoT Categories
NB-IoT NETWORK DEPLOYMENT classified under four use cases
categories.
Categories use cases
1 IOT Appliance Smart home application are deployed on short
range technologies like Z-Wave, Zigbee with home
gateway
2 Personal, Wearables , Smart bicycle , Kids monitoring , Pet
Tracking
3 Public Smart garbage bin ,Smart meter, Street light,
Alarms & Event Detectors
4 Industry. Asset tracking ,Logistics tracking ,Alarms & Event
Detectors
use cases can be different per operator, country and region or per addressed market.
