5G and IoT

◆ 3GPP standards-based IoT– Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) target– Based on 4G LTE– 2 technologies for different use cases

> Narrowband IoT referred as NB-IoT> LTE-MTC (Machine Type Communication) or LTE-eMTC referred as LTE-M

◆ 3GPP Releases– NB-IoT and LTE-M defined in 3GPP Release 13 (June 2016)– Completed in Release 14 (June 2017) and Release 15 (June 2019)– Among others, 3GPP Release 16 (March 2020) work items include for both NB-IoT and LTE-M

improved coexistence with 5G New Radio (5G-NR) and support for connection to the Next Generation Core (NGC)

– For 3GPP Release 17, a Work Item should be proposed at next RAN WG meeting to support a mMTC feature (LTE-M like) in 5G-NR

◆ /!\– No new IoT Radio Access Technology in 5G– 5G shall consider trusted and non-trusted non-3GPP Radio Access Technology (WiFi, LoRa, …)– NGC is key to address vertical needs for massive IoT (slicing for SLA & security, scaling for

density, …)

LPWA trends

◆ Connectivity – Total IoT connections by network type 2015-2027– IoT connections by network type, worldwide, 2027– /!\ note

> 2G, 3G/4G and 5G are included in cellular category> NB-IoT and LTE-M which are cellular technologies, are

included in LPWA category

Source: Analysys Mason, 2018

◆ Adoption of multiple LPWA technologies– cellular MNOs betting on more than one LPWA

technology– technical rationale: covers more IoT use cases and

requirements, thanks to complementarity– strategic rationale: requires a small additional cost

for the network infrastructure (NB-IoT + LTE-M)
