Cellular Internet of Things

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

Olof Liberg is a Line and Program Manager at Ericsson's department for Standards & Technologies. Olof joined Ericsson in 2008 and has specialized in the design and standardization of cellular radio access technologies. He is currently leading a team focused on radio and spectrum standardization and Ericsson's 3GPP radio access network standardization program. Olof holds a Bachelor's degree in Business and Economics and a Master's degree in Engineering Physics, both from Uppsala University. He has actively participated in the work of several standardization bodies, such as 3GPP, ITU-R, and ETSI. He was the Chairman of 3GPP TSG GERAN and its Working Group 1, during the 3GPP study on new radio-access technologies for the Internet of Things leading up to the specification of Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT). Olof is one of the authors behind the first and second edition of the book Cellular Internet of Things (Elsevier) and has coauthored several academic publications and contributed to more than 100 US patents.
