5g Narrowband Internet of Things: With Satellite Connectivity and Artificial Intelligence

By Hossam Fattah

Broadband wireless communication has transformed dramatically, leading to advanced technologies like 5G. 5G Narrowband Internet of Things: With Satellite Connectivity and Artificial Intelligence focuses on one crucial aspect of 5G - Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT). Since the first edition of this book was published in 2019, NB-IoT has evolved with new features introduced in 3GPP Releases 15-18. This second edition explores its architecture, protocol stack, and latest enhancements, including satellite connectivity, AI/ML integration, and cloud-based infrastructure. Designed as an accessible reference, it simplifies complex concepts while providing valuable insights into this growing technology.

New to the Second Edition:

- Explores the latest advancements in NB-IoT through 3GPP release 18, including enhanced data rates, lower latency, TDD support, power-saving mechanism, and new modulation schemes like 16QAM.

- Details the convergence of NB-IoT with satellite networks, expanding global coverage beyond terrestrial limitations and provides intelligent connectivity in aviation, maritime, and lands.

- Explores how AI/ML enhances data analysis, does predictive maintenance, predicts future trends and patterns, and provides intelligent resource optimization for NB-IoT devices.

- Provides insights into NB-IoT's role within both 3GPP Series 36 (LTE) and 3GPP Series 38 (New Radio).

- Examines the ongoing evolution of NB-IoT and its expanding role in smart cities, industrial automation, and large-scale connectivity.

This edition offers an accessible yet in-depth guide for researchers, engineers, and industry professionals looking to understand the latest breakthroughs in NB-IoT technology.
