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
