Abstract

The increase in need of connecting devices gave a path to the Internet of things (IoT). The heterogeneous nature of connecting with different devices through seamless connectivity aids IoT to connect and acquire needed information. The demand for machine-type communications (MTC) has provided way for modern algorithms, diverse services, technology to meet modern IoT needs. Cellular standards also creating a space to incorporate IoT along the sideline of regular network with low-power and long-range specifications. 3GPP release 13 introduced narrow band IoT (NB-IoT) along with LET-advance standard. In this paper, the state-of-the-art of the IoT application requirements in the 3GPP cellular-based low-power wide area solutions for massive to critical IoT is discussed. The need for changes in technology in occurrence to the sensor nodes and transmit information is also focused in this paper with SoC for NB-IoT.
