Introduction Enabling new capabilities such as multi-cast and positioning, and enhancing efficiencies to connect more devices, quality of experience (QoE) and quality of service (QoS) requirements will affect IoT requirements and specifications. Accomplishing with new 5G demand, RSMA for grant-free small data transmissions and multi-hop mesh to extend network coverage will achieve the QoS and QoE that is essential for IoT to be successful. One of major objectives of 5G services is to supply ultra-high capacity per terminal, improve spectrum efficiency. Along with the development of autonomous networks and manufacturing industries, the demand for increment capcity will be exponential growth. Billions of “Green” terminals (wearables, computers, tablets, smart automation equipments and smartphones) is expected to upgrade. The massive appearrance of machine-to-machine Dr.Dan Ye are with the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering, National Taiwan University, Taipei, 10617, Taiwan. Corresponding author: Dr.Dan Ye ( [email protected] ) IoT services will augment in the number of connected devices, more automatic devices, in a huge boost in the total number of connected devices. LTE IoT [1] provides a seamless path to deliver IoT service in existing network deployments. LTE IoT is a part of a unified platform that can adapt to application performance demands. LTE can easily scale up to support IoT use cases that require high bandwidth and low latency, and scale down to optimize for low-performance applications using the same network infrastructure. One of the most important benefits of LTE is to utilize licensed spectrum, as it allows network operators to guarantee QoS by effectively allocating network resources as well as managing and mitigating interferences and congestions.

IoT Use Cases not-yet-known not-yet-known not-yet-known unknown 2.1 Ad Hoc Networking IoT platform has rapidly self-organized networking capability and could interoperate with the network layer to support correspondending services. In order to transfer the information, the vehicle networks and transportation infrastructures can be quickly self-organized. 2.2 Sensor Network IoT use sensor to collect information which is the foundamental component that experience the universe, and provides applications and services. Due to the diversity of sensors such as speed, pressure, temperature, humidity, height, video, image, voice and location sensors, information detected by these sensors transform comprehensively. 2.3 LTE-A MTC LTE-Advanced technology, the soul of 4G network connectivity, will evolve to supply attacting characteristics that provide a large number of high performance and low cost IoT devices. These devices extend coverage for challenging locations, energy saving for applications requiring long battery life and optimizations to deploy very large numbers of devices per cell. LTE-based MTC solutions create development in diverse entities of MTC ranging from home and industrial automation to consumer electronic devices such as connected wearables. LTE-based MTC solutions serve as one type of IoT service on the strength of its ubiquitous connectivity, more efficient energy saving, higher coverage and faster data rates of up to 1 Mbps [2]. 2.4 Automotive Cellular mobile services are enabled to supply connectivity to the surrounding automobile as the demand for ubiquitous coverage and bi-directional real-time communication to the advantages of vehicle networks. The evolution of vehicle technology has foreseen an increment in Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) use cases such as telematics solutions, Vehicle-to-Cloud (V2C), Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Pedestrian (V2P) communication such as vehicle safety management and real-time automobile control. IoT networks will further augment the capabilities of connected automobile and facilitate faster transmission of more information generated by V2V and Vehicle-to-Everything(V2X) use cases. not-yet-known not-yet-known not-yet-known unknown 2.5 Fleet management The cellular IoT fleet management application requirements include ubiquitous connectivity, extended coverage, accurate positioning, high data rates. Novel capabilities of 5G cellular technologies produce new generations of infrastructure that will empower superior capabilities and higher throughput such as wireless IP-based video which ultimately improves operation efficiencies. 2.6 Smart transportation Cellular technolgies LTE provide real-time collection of massive information from road sensors, cameras, vehicles, drivers and pedestrians to assist streamline monitoring traffic flow. Figure 1 summarizes the above application scenes in IoT use cases. Figure 1. IoT use cases. not-yet-known not-yet-known not-yet-known unknown 3. Functional architechture in IoT not-yet-known not-yet-known not-yet-known unknown 3.1 Gateway Figure 2 depicts the end-to-end architecture of IoT solution. The network device can be connected to a local gateway via a short distance network such as WiFi, Zigbee, Bluetooth, directly to a wide area network such as the mobile cellular network. The gateway devices can be connected through a wireline access network. The gateway connects the local communication between the IoT devices and bridges the local network to the wide area network. To support a larger number of devices per cell with new features such as group-based paging, messaging, and improved load management. Figure 2. The end-to-end architecture of IoT solutions. 3.2 Access network The radio access network (RAN) is shared traffic across consumer and IoT. Traditionally, mobile networks have been planned for low latency, high throughput consumer traffic. MTC optimizations to 5G is used to extend coverage for low throughput devices deep deployed within buildings such as in basements which consequentially reduce signaling traffic and device cost, and improve battery life. Meanwhile, IoT optimized wide area networks which are under developed and deployed. 3.3 Cellular core network 5G core network functions make two major forces for IoT services and devices. One is the current ongoing MTC and another is the application of Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Software-Defined Networking (SDN) technologies in the 5G core network that create novel capabilities that can enable a plenty of use cases more efficiently including IoT. MTC is concentrated on 5G cellular system enhancements for IoT services and develop for low complexity, low cost and low power consumption as well as efficient small data transmission devices. NFV and SDN technologies build a modular based core network architecture where the core network can be dynamically ‘scaled’ and ‘sliced’ depended on IoT use cases, categories of devices. It is conceivable that a network operator can create mobile core instances suitable for IoT. The blending of these novel technologies will lead to an access agnostic and 5G core network that will backup the various use cases of telecommunications. 3.4 Connectivity platform By designing a platform for handling SIM pre-provisioning, provisioning, activation, deactivation and self-diagnosis of device communication issues, the demand for bulk provisioning has driven 5G operators to reduce their operations cost. The connecitivity platform comprises a communication server that analyzes, stores and transfers message routing and protocol translation, essentially collecting information from devices and making them availale to applications. Data communications server is belongs to the application platform. The management platform consists of device management functions for firmware configuration, diagnostics and upgrades, and application life cycle management. 3.5 Application platform An Development and Execution Application Platform (DEAP) is planned to create and realize the application for IoT solutions. The application platform is consisted of the fundamental functions for diverse applications: collect, store and process data, and transmit valuable statistics to customers of frontal application. The aplication platform has the communication server, a rule engine for processing data and a database for storing device data. Application Program Interface (APIs) easily uses the services of the platform. It provides remote and automatic operation, administration, management and provisioning. Network domain virtualization includes virtual Radio Access Networks (vRAN)/vAccess, vCore and virtual Operations Support Systems/Business Support Systems (OSS/BSS) for dynamic scalability. 4. Advancements in LTE for MTC LTE IoT is a suite of two complementary narrowband technologies eMTC and NB-IoT. They deliver optimized performance and efficiency for a wide range of low-power, wide-area (LPWA) Internet of Things. Shared eMTC and NB-IoT delivers new efficiencies for the massive IoT such as single Rx antenna, half-duplex, PSM, eDRx, TTI bundling, overload control, overhead optimizations. Supporting narrowband operation, NB-IoT enables low-cost modules optimized for small, infrequent data transmissions.Utilizing a narrower bandwidth Positioning reference signal (PRS) with higher repetition factors that extends range. not-yet-known not-yet-known not-yet-known unknown 4.1 Seamless coexistence of different services LTE IoT [3] broadens IoT use cases and expands into unlicensed spectrum. It established a solid foundation for connecting the massive IoT, by scaling down complexity, lowering power, deepening coverage, and increasing device density. It continues to extend into the unlicense spectrum that will enable new standardization LTE-U, LAA, eLAA for private IoT networks. Mesh networking is multiple-hop mesh with WAN management on unlicensed spectrum for LTE D2D low power devices. MTC/IoT services are promising to coexist seamlessly with 5G broadband services, therefore IoT operators can efficiently corporate them with existing LTE-A networks. Coexisting with LTE unicast services, eMTC single-cell multicast group messaging service and NB-IoT single-cell multicast firmware upgrade service facilitates the efficient communication. Downlink remains OFDM-based for coexistence with other services. 4.2 Mature, interoperable global ecosystem We are driving broad ecosystem adoption of LTE IoT. Global cellular connectivity to a wide variety of IoT applications generate LTE multimode modem supporting Cat-M1 + Cat-NB1 + E-GPRS which is one example of cost-optimized, flexible and scalable chipsets tailored to power IoT. Supporting dynamic mode selection with flexible configuration. not-yet-known not-yet-known not-yet-known unknown 4.3 Always-available, ubiquitous connectivity LTE provides a scalable IoT connectivity platform.LTE Cat-1 delivers scalable performance and seamless mobility for high performance IoT use cases. eMTC Cat-M1 optimizes TTI bundling and repetitive transmissions for the broadest range of IoT applications with high-reliability and lower latencies. NB-IoT Cat-NB1 provides extreme optimizations on relaxed timing requirements, lower-order modulation and single-tone UL transmissions for low cost/power, high throughput, delay-tolerant IoT use cases. 5. Massive IoT enhancements Energy reduction and coverage extension optimizations are shared by eMTC and NB-IoT, taking additional capabilities and efficiencies for the massive IoT. Shared eMTC and NB-IoT delivers new efficiencies for the massive IoT such as single Rx antenna, half-duplex, PSM, eDRx, TTI bundling, overload control, overhead optimizations. 5.1 Improving power efficiency to deliver longer battery life Maximizing battery life has become one of the most important improvement vectors in LTE IoT. To our best knowledge, reducing device complexity can save power. IoT imports two new low-power enhancements modes applicable to Cat-M1 and Cat NB1 devices for optimizing device battery life. Power save mode (PSM): PSM allows the device to skip the periodic page monitoring cycles between active data transmissions, allowing the device to sleep for longer. However, the device becomes unreachable when PSM is active, it is best utilized by scheduled applications, where the device intiates communication with the network.Furthermore, it enables more efficient low-power mode entry/exit, as the device remains registered with the network during PSM, without additional cycles to setup registration/connection after each PSM exit event. Smart meters, sensors, and any IoT devices periodically push data up to the network. Extended discontinuous receive (eDRx): eDRx optimizes battery life by extending the maximum time between data reception from the network in connected mode to 10.24s, and time between page monitoring and tracking area update in idle mode longer than 40 minutes. It allows the network and device to synchronize sleep periods for checking network messages ocassionally. This increases latency, therefore, eDRx is optimized for device-terminated applications. Asset tracking can reap the benefits of lower power consumption during longer eDRx cycles. 5.2 Enhancing coverage for better reachability The tradeoff between spectral efficiency and latency can effectively increase coverage without increasing output power that will negatively impact the device battery life. Repetitive transmissions: Transmitting the same transport block multiple times in consecutive sub-frames (TTI bundling) or repeatedly sending the same data over a period of time can significantly increase the probability for the receiver (cell or device) to correctly decode the transmitted messages. Power spectral density (PSD) boosting: While the serving cell can simply increase transmit power in the downlink to extend coverage, it is also possible for the device to put all the power together on some decreased bandwidth to effectively increase the transmit power density. Cat-NB1 can transmit on 3.75 kHz sub-carrier spacing while Cat-M1 and LTE can occupy 15kHz sub-carrier spacing. Single-tone uplink: Cat-NB1 device can utilize single-tone uplink 3.75 kHz or 15 kHz sub-carrier spacing to further extend coverage with peak data rate 10 kbps. Lower-order modulation: By utilizing QPSK instead of 16-QAM, the SINR threshold reduces significantly, whereas modulation efficiency with fewer bits per symbol. With these new coverage enhancements, the link budget of a Cat-M1 device is increased to 155.7 dB, a +15 dB improvement over LTE. For Cat-NB1, it is further increased to 164 dB. 5.3 Reducing complexity to enable lower cost devices Both Cat-M1 and Cat NB-1 devices can scale down in complexity to enable lower cost, while fulfilling the application requirements. Figure 3 summarizes the high-level performance disparities among LTE IoT devices. Peak data rate: Both Cat-M1 and Cat-NB1 devices will have reduced peak data rates. Cat-M1 has limited throughput of more than 1 Mbps in both downlink and uplink directions, while Cat-NB1 further reduces peak data rate down to 100 kbps. The reduced data rates allow for data analytics and edge computing. Bandwidth: LTE supports scalable carrier bandwidths from 1.4 MHz to 20 MHz, utilizing 6 to 100 resource blocks. For LTE Cat-M1, the device bandwidth is limited to 1.08 MHz guard-band for 6 RBs in-band, to support the lower data rate. Cat-NB1 further reduces device bandwidth to 180 kHz guard-band for a single RB. The bandwidth reduction for Cat-M1 requires a new control channel M-PDCCH which is not suitable for the narrow band.While for Cat-NB-1, NB-IoT synch, control, and data channels can accommodate the narrower bandwidth. Rx-Antenna: Multiple antennas and receive diversity in LTE can improve spectral efficiency. For both Cat-M1 and Cat-NB1, the receive RF is reduced to a single antenna for simplifying the RF frontend. Duplex Modes: LTE IoT devices can reduce complexity by only support half-duplex communications where only the transmit or receive path is active at a given time. Cat-M1 devices can support half-duplex FDD and TDD, while Cat-NB1 devices only support half-duplex FDD. Mobility: Only Cat-M1 devices support limited-to-full mobility, which is a differentiating feature where devices can frequently move between different cells. Cat-NB1 devices support cell reselection only. Voice Service: VoLTE is critial Cat-M1 characteristic for wearables in IoT applications. Because of simplified hardware and limited bandwidth, Cat-NB1 does not support voice service. Transmit Power: For both new LTE UE categories, the maximum uplink transmission power is reduced to 20 dBm (100mW) from LTE 23 dBm (200mW), allowing the power amplifer (PA) for lower cost device.

Resource performance for LTE IoT devices. 5.4 Optimizing LTE core network to more efficiently support IoT devices Most IoT devices transmit small amount of data sporadically, LTE core network evloves to better IoT traffic profiles by efficent signaling and resource management. More efficient signaling: New access control mechanisms such as Extended Access Barring (EAB) prevents devices from generating access requests when the network is congested, eliminating unnecessary signaling. The network can utilize group-based paging and messaging to more efficiently communicate with multiple downlink devices. Enhanced resource management: The network can allow a large set of devices to share the same subscription, such that resources and device management can be consolidated. Water, electricity, and gas in a smart city can be collectively provisioned, controlled, and billed. Simplified core network: The LTE core network can be optimized for IoT traffic, allowing more efficient use of resources and consolidation of the MME, S-GW, and P-GW into a single EPC. The operators optimize for lower OPEX or minimize CAPEX by leveraging existing LTE core network to support LTE IoT. 5.5 Enabling higher device density Core network enhancements include software upgrades for service differentiation handling, signaling optimization and high-capacity platforms more than 30 million devices per node. To increase device density, RSMA (resource spread multiple access) enables grant-free transmissions. RSMA is an asynchronous, non-orthogonal, and contention-based uplink multiple access design that reduces device complexity and signaling overhead since it allows IoT devices to transmit without prior network scheduling. not-yet-known not-yet-known not-yet-known unknown 5.6 Expanding into unlicensed spectrum The MulteFire is adapting LTE IoT to operate in the unlicensed spectrum to expand beyond mobile broadband and high-performance IoT. This enables LPWA (low-power, wide-area) use cases, leveraging both eMTC and NB-IoT. Figure 4. IoT enhancement aspect Figure 4 depicts the overall IoT enhancement aspects mentioned above. These new capacities and improvements will propel LTE IoT to become more efficient. 6. Continuous LTE IoT evolution to 5G not-yet-known not-yet-known not-yet-known unknown 6.1 New 5G capabilities to enable massive IoT Figure 5 addresses potential characteristics of 5G IoT technology [4]. A 5G NR-based massive IoT design is expected to elevate massive IoT connectivity to the next level. 5G Multi-RAT core network (MR-CN) supports multiple RATs among 5G, LTE and WLAN, improves end-to-end performance for LTE IoT. 5G enables separation of control and user planes based on SDN, allows more fine grain traffic management. Multi-RAT access network (MR-AN) assigns one or more cells for each RAT and supports inter and intra RAT mobility and aggregation. To extend network coverage for IoT devices, multi-hop mesh will allow out-of-coverage devices to connect directly with devices that can relay data back to the access network. The core network will take on WAN management for devices in both access coverage and peer-connected mesh network. not-yet-known not-yet-known not-yet-known unknown Figure 5.

Narrowband LTE IoT technologies are delivering lower complexity, increase battery life, deepen coverage, and enable high device density deployments. Two new UE categories Cat-M1 for eMTC and Cat-NB1 for NB-IoT scaled down LTE to enable more efficient IoT communications. Cat-M1 will offer broadest range of IoT capabilities with support for more advanced features such as full mobility and VoLTE, while Cat-NB1 offers the lowest cost and power for delay-tolerant, high throughput. not-yet-known not-yet-known not-yet-known unknown Reference [1].
