Narrowband LTE in Machine to Machine Satellite Communication Narrowband LTE in Machine to Machine Satellite Communication Petri Niemelä School of Electrical Engineering Thesis submitted for examination for the degree of Master of Science in Technology. Espoo 28.5.2018 Thesis supervisor and advisor: Assistant Prof. Jaan Praks aalto university abstract of the school of electrical engineering master’s thesis Author: Petri Niemelä Title: Narrowband LTE in Machine to Machine Satellite Communication Date: 28.5.2018 Language: English Number of pages: 7+60 Department of Electrical Engineering and Automation Professorship: Control, Robotics and Autonomous Systems Supervisor and advisor: Assistant Prof. Jaan Praks Recent trends to wireless Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication and Internet of Things (IoT) have created a new demand for more efficient low-throughput wireless data connections. Beside the traditional wireless standards, focused on high bandwidth data transfer, has emerged a new generation of Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN) which targets for less power demanding low-throughput devices requiring inexpensive data connections. Recently released NB-IoT (Narrowband IoT) specification extends the existing 4G/LTE standard allowing easily accessible LPWAN cellular connectivity for IoT devices. Narrower bandwidth and lower data rates combined to a simplified air interface make it less resource demanding while still benefiting from the widely spread LTE technology and infrastructure. Applications, such as wide scale sensor or asset tracking networks, can benefit from a global scale network coverage and easily available low-cost user equipment which could be made possible by new narrowband IoT satellite networks. In this thesis, the NB-IoT specification and its applicability for satellite commu- nication is discussed. Primarily, LTE and NB-IoT standards are designed only for terrestrial use. Their utilization in Earth-to-space communication raises new challenges, such as timing and frequency synchronization requirements when uti- lizing Orthogonal Frequency Signal Multiplexing (OFDM) techniques. Many of these challenges can be overcome by specification adaptations and other existing techniques making minimal changes to the standard and allowing extension of the terrestrial cellular networks to global satellite access.

Jaan Praks Viimeaikaiset kehitystrendit koneiden välisessä kommunikaatiossa (Machine to Machine Communication, M2M) ja esineiden Internet (Internet of Things, IoT) -sovelluksissa ovat luoneet perinteisteisten nopean tiedonsiirron langattomien standardien ohelle uuden sukupolven LPWAN (Low Power Wide Area Networks) -tekniikoita, jotka ovat tarkoitettu pienitehoisille tiedonsiirtoa tarvitseville sovel- luksille. Viimeaikoina yleistynyt NB-IoT standardi laajentaa 4G/LTE standardia mah- dollistaen entistä matalamman virrankulutuksen matkapuhelinyhteydet IoT laitteissa. Kapeampi lähetyskaista ja hitaampi tiedonsiirtonopeus yhdistettynä yksinkertaisempaan ilmarajapintaan mahdollistaa pienemmät resurssivaatimukset saman aikaan hyötyen laajalti levinneistä LTE teknologioista ja olemassa olevasta infrastruktuurista. Useissa sovelluskohteissa, kuten suurissa sensoriverkoissa, voitaisiin hyötyä merkittävästi globaalista kattavuudesta yhdistettynä edullisiin helposti saataviin päätelaitteisiin. Tässä työssä käsitellään NB-IoT standardia ja sen soveltuvuutta satellittitieto- liikenteeseen. LTE ja NB-IoT ovat kehitty maanpääliseen tietoliikenteeseen ja niiden hyödyntäminen avaruuden ja maan välisessä kommunikaatiossa aiheuttaa uusia haasteita esimerkiksi aika- ja taajuussynkronisaatiossa ja OFDM (Orthogo- nal Frequency Signal Multiplexing) -tekniikan hyödyntämisessä. Nämä haasteet voidaan ratkaista soveltamalla spesifikaatiota sekä muilla jo olemassa olevilla tek- niikoilla tehden mahdollisimman vähän muutoksia alkuperäiseen standardiin, ja täten sallien maanpäälisten IoT verkkojen laajenemisen avaruuteen.

    IoT Solution Whitepaper WHITEPAPER, MARCH 2019 THE GAME CHANGER FOR THE INTERNET OF THINGS 1 IoT Solution Whitepaper INTRODUCTION The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly creating new ecosystems, revealing new insights and efficiencies, and enabling a vast array of new services and business models. While headline- grabbing IoT applications such as augmented reality or self-driving cars capture the imagination, many IoT use cases do not need to rely on high-performance wireless modules and low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity. For Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) applications—such as smart metering, tracking of assets, and monitoring equipment—the key requirement is the ability to periodically exchange small amounts of data easily, reliably, and cost-effectively. Unlike most other existing mobile communications technologies, Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) is optimized for these types of applications—making NB-IoT an ideal network technology for a broad array of IoT solutions.

  • Reduced Complexity Detection of Narrowband Secondary Synchronization Signal for NB-Iot Communication Systems
    S S symmetry Article Reduced Complexity Detection of Narrowband Secondary Synchronization Signal for NB-IoT Communication Systems Young-Hwan You Department of Computer Engineering, Sejong University, Gwangjin-gu, Gunja-dong 98, Seoul 05006, Korea; [email protected] Received: 1 July 2020; Accepted: 6 August 2020; Published: 11 August 2020 Abstract: Narrowband Internet of Things is one of the most promising technologies to support low cost, massive connection, deep coverage, and low power consumption. In this paper, a computationally efficient narrowband secondary synchronization signal detection method is proposed in the narrowband Internet of Things system. By decoupling the detection of complementary sequence and Zadoff–Chu sequence that make up the synchronization signal sequence, the search space of narrowband secondary synchronization signal hypotheses is reduced. Such a design strategy along with the use of the symmetric property of synchronization signals allows reduced-complexity synchronization signal detection in the narrowband Internet of Things system. Both theoretical and simulation results are provided to verify the usefulness of the proposed detector. It is shown via simulation results that the complexity of the proposed detection method is significantly reduced while producing some performance degradation, compared to the conventional detection method. Keywords: narrowband Internet of Things; narrowband secondary synchronization signal 1. Introduction With the rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) industry, Low-Power Wide-Area (LPWA) technologies become more and more popular [1].

  • Communications in the 6G Era
    Communications in the 6G Era White paper The focus of wireless research is increasingly shifting toward 6G as 5G deployments get underway. At this juncture, it is essential to establish a vision of future communications to provide guidance for that research. In this paper, we attempt to paint a broad picture of communication needs and technologies in the timeframe of 6G. The future of connectivity is in the creation of digital twin worlds that are a true representation of the physical and biological worlds at every spatial and time instant, unifying our experience across these physical, biological and digital worlds. New themes are likely to emerge that will shape 6G system requirements and technologies, such as: (i) new man–machine interfaces created by a collection of multiple local devices acting in unison; (ii) ubiquitous universal computing distributed among multiple local devices and the cloud; (iii) multi-sensory data fusion to create multi-verse maps and new mixed-reality experiences; and (iv) precision sensing and actuation to control the physical world. With rapid advances in artificial intelligence, it has the potential to become the foundation for the 6G air interface and network, making data, compute and energy the new resources to be exploited for achieving superior performance. In addition, in this paper we discuss the other major technology transformations that are likely to define 6G: (i) cognitive spectrum sharing methods and new spectrum bands; (ii) the integration of localization and sensing capabilities into the system definition, (iii) the achievement of extreme performance requirements on latency and reliability; (iv) new network architecture paradigms involving sub-networks and RAN– Core convergence; and (v) new security and privacy schemes.

Dr. Ambedkar Institute Of Technology For Handicapped Kanpur (UP), India [email protected] Abstract In this paper we had analyzed the spread spectrum techniques in a broader sense, in context of their performance. Spread spectrum is an increasingly important form of encoding for wireless communications. It can be used to transmit either analog or digital data, using an analog signal. The basic idea of spread spectrum is to modulate the signal so as to increase significantly the bandwidth (spread the spectrum) of the signal to be transmitted. It was initially developed for military and intelligence requirements. The use of spread spectrum makes jamming and interception more difficult and provides improved reception.
