Abstract
Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is a new radio access technology, recently standardized in 3GPP to enable support for IoT devices. NB-IoT offers a range of flexible deployment options and provides improved coverage and support for a massive number of devices within a cell. In this paper, we provide a detailed evaluation of the coverage performance of NBIoT and show that it achieves a coverage enhancement of up to 20 dB when compared with existing LTE technology.Keywords
