Practical Machine-Type Communication for Energy Internet of Things: An Introduction

As we know, world is moving into the era of modern digital technology and looking forward tomassive machine type communications (mMTC), whichis an integral part of Internet of Things (IoT). The current technologysupporting mMTC market are not standardized; therefore, there are many short comings from physical layer which includes complexity in deployment, poor reliability, lesser flexibility, security threats and high maintenance cost. To address all these challenges in 5G machine type communication (MTC), the 3rdGeneration Partnership Project (3GPP) in release 13has standardizedNarrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) as a better choice in deployment of 5G MTC. NB-IoT has been recommended by ITU as a 5G standard and this recognition of NB-IoT as a core technology in massive machine type communication will impact the telecommunication industry. NB-IoT mainly works on low power wide area networks (LPWAN), which isconsidered as a major technology driver in 5G wireless technologies. Initially,we have compared a spectrum power of NB-IoT with W-Fi ac considering their own bandwidthand specificationsas per 3GPP and IEEE 802.11,respectively.As per analysis, we found many advantages of deploying NB-IoT in 5thgeneration wireless technology including ubiquitous coverage, low power consumption, less transmission power and better interference rejection. Considering thisfact of NB-IoT, we proposedand design a NB-IoT uplink systemusing NPUSCH, UL-SCH and UL-DMRS as per 3GPP 5G specificationsand performance analysis has been carried out

3Rd Generation Partnership Project

Nowadays, the technology of internet of things is developing rapidly, and the application of machine type communication (MTC) is becoming more and more extensive. Meanwhile, the 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) organization proposes a standard architecture for MTC in LTE-A networks. However, when a large number of MTC devices handover authentication at the same time, the use of 3GPP handover mechanisms takes up more signaling resources, which will cause signaling congestion and vulnerable attacks. To solve this problem, the researchers propose an aggregated handover authentication protocol for MTC in LTE-A networks. Compared with the current 3GPP standards, the scheme can not only avoid signaling congestion, but also support more security. Finally, the researchers use colored petri nets (CPN) to model and analyze the proposed protocol. Simulation results show that the protocol is secure and achievable.

Massive machine-type communication (mMTC) is investigated as one of three typical scenes of the 5th-generation (5G) network. In this paper, we propose a 5G-enabled internet of things (IoT) in which some enhanced mobile broadband devices transmit video stream to a centralized controller and some mMTC devices exchange short packet data with adjacent devices via D2D communication to promote inter-device cooperation. Since massive MTC devices have data transmission requirements in 5G-enabled IoT with limited spectrum resources, the subcarrier allocation problem is investigated to maximize the connectivity of mMTC devices subject to the quality of service (QoS) requirement of enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) devices and mMTC devices. To solve the formulated mixed-integer non-linear programming (MINLP) problem, which is NP-hard, an interference-aware subcarrier allocation algorithm for mMTC communication (IASA) is developed to maximize the number of active mMTC devices. Finally, the performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by simulation. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms the three traditional benchmark methods, which significantly improves the utilization of the uplink spectrum. This indicates that the proposed IASA algorithm provides a better solution for IoT application.
