5G LTE Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT)

Focuses on the technical specifications and applications of Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) within 5G LTE cellular networks. The text explains the underlying protocol stack and architecture of NB-IoT, detailing layers such as the Radio Resource Control (RRC) sublayer, Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) sublayer, Radio Link Control (RLC) sublayer, Medium Access Control (MAC) sublayer, and Physical (PHY) sublayer. It explores key operational aspects including RRC modes (IDLE and CONNECTED), data transfer mechanisms, power saving modes (PSM), and quality of service (QoS) for NB-IoT devices. Furthermore, the source outlines various applications and use cases for NB-IoT, such as smart cities, smart homes, smart parking, and smart metering, emphasizing characteristics like low power consumption, extended battery life, and improved coverage that make NB-IoT suitable for connecting a massive number of low-throughput devices. The book also provides an overview of the evolution of cellular technologies from 1G to 5G, positioning NB-IoT as a crucial component of future Internet of Things deployments.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/cyber_security_summaryDiscover our free courses in tech and cybersecurity, Start learning today:https://linktr.ee/cybercode_academy
