Cellular IoT

Cellular IoT: From 5G to 5G advanced gives an accessible and insightful explanation of 5G IoT technologies and standards. After an introduction to 5G and 5G Advanced, the book in detail goes through the 5G features that are vital for the support of IoT. It describes how the 5G New Radio (NR) access technology has been designed to support industrial IoT, and how it has been adapted to provide cost and energy efficient connectivity, as well as providing high data rates at a low latency to support immerse experience or time-critical communications. The book also discusses the future of massive IoT and how 3GPP is about to extend its support for near zero-energy and low complexity devices and use cases. These forward-looking features will help evolve 5G and 5G Advanced toward realizing 6G visions such as a connected, sustainable, digitalized, and programmable physical world.
