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.

The vision of 5G is to connect multiple devices and provide meaningful services under a common rooftop, enabling the world populace to communicate to each other. It is estimated that industrial Internet of Things (IoT) alone will comprise of more than 25 billion devices by 2025 [1]-[2]. All these devices will broadly be cateogrized into three main streams of 5G principles: (1) enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), (2) Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC) and (3) massive Machine-Type Communications (mMTC). They come with their own unique requirements that have to be adhered by the network.


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
