Over the last decade, the number of Low-Power Wireless Access (LPWA) devices has increased remarkably. It has become crucial to introduce several LPWA technologies to share the burden of catering to the demands of these devices. Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is one such new cellular LPWA technology which has been standardized by 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) in June, 2016. It was developed with the aim to support low-complexity and low-power devices serving areas of poor radio coverage. In this survey, we review NB-IoT technology in detail. NB-IoT’s architecture is derived from that of Long Term Evolution (LTE) cellular technology, which is another 3GPP technology. We first discuss the architectural changes made to the design of LTE to derive the design of NB-IoT, including changes in physical layer and layer-2 architecture. Next, we describe the various features introduced for NB-IoT in 3GPP Rel-13 and follow it up to describe the enhancements made in subsequent 3GPP releases until 3GPP Rel-16. Then, we review, in depth, the research work done on various aspects of NB-IoT. We follow it up with a discussion on the combination of NB-IoT with other interesting cellular technologies like Device-to-Device communication (D2D), Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA), social IoT, and 5th Generation New Radio (5G NR). We also look into a wide variety of real-world applications of NB-IoT. Finally, we point out a few open issues of NB-IoT and identify possible future research directions.

窄带物联网:全面研究

在过去的十年中,低功耗无线访问(LPWA)设备的数量显着增加。引入几种LPWA技术来分担满足这些设备需求的负担已变得至关重要。窄带物联网(NB-IoT)是这样的一种新型蜂窝LPWA技术,已于2016年6月被第三代合作伙伴计划(3GPP)标准化。其开发旨在支持低复杂度和低功耗设备,无线电覆盖范围较差的区域。在本次调查中,我们详细回顾了NB-IoT技术。NB-IoT的体系结构源自长期演进(LTE)蜂窝技术,这是另一种3GPP技术。我们首先讨论对LTE设计进行的体系结构更改,以得出NB-IoT的设计,包括物理层和第二层体系结构的更改。接下来,我们描述在3GPP Rel-13中为NB-IoT引入的各种功能,并对其进行后续描述以描述在3GPP Rel-16之前的后续3GPP版本中进行的增强。然后,我们深入回顾在NB-IoT各个方面所做的研究工作。接下来,我们将讨论NB-IoT与其他有趣的蜂窝技术的结合,例如设备对设备通信(D2D),非正交多路访问(NOMA),社交IoT和第五代新无线电(5G NR) )。我们还将研究NB-IoT的各种实际应用。最后,我们指出了NB-IoT的一些未解决问题,并确定了可能的未来研究方向。在深度上,对NB-IoT各个方面的研究工作。接下来,我们将讨论NB-IoT与其他有趣的蜂窝技术的结合,例如设备对设备通信(D2D),非正交多路访问(NOMA),社交IoT和第五代新无线电(5G NR) )。我们还将研究NB-IoT的各种实际应用。最后,我们指出了NB-IoT的一些未解决问题,并确定了可能的未来研究方向。在深度上,对NB-IoT各个方面的研究工作。接下来,我们将讨论NB-IoT与其他有趣的蜂窝技术的结合,例如设备对设备通信(D2D),非正交多路访问(NOMA),社交IoT和第五代新无线电(5G NR) )。我们还将研究NB-IoT的各种实际应用。最后,我们指出了NB-IoT的一些未解决问题,并确定了可能的未来研究方向。
