Mobility VoLTENote

Note: VoLTE is supported on LTE Cat M1 only.


LPWA Advantages – Extended Coverage

The target for the IoT connectivity link budget is an enhancement of 20dB. This coverage

enhancement would typically be equivalent to the signal penetrating a wall or floor, enabling

deeper indoor coverage.

▪ Uplink PSD Increased by 17dB

NOTE: The max Tx power of a GSM terminal can reach 33dBm and that of NB-IoT is about

23dBm, therefore the PSD of NB-IoT is 7dB more than GSM.

PSD: Power Spectral Density

▪ Repetition/Retransmission: 6dB~16dB

Typical Case 2G Solution

180KHz

PSD =

200mW/180KHz

LPWA Advantages – Low Power Consumption

The industry aims to achieve a minimum of 10 years of battery operation for simple daily

connectivity with a small amount of data exchanged.

Power Saving Mode in 3GPP Release 12

▪ PSM (Power Saving Mode) and eDRX (Extended Discontinuous Reception)

are the key technologies to extend the battery life in NB-IoT.

▪ Simplified protocol

▪ Low power consumption

▪ High PA efficiency

▪ Short Tx/Rx time

a) The terminal in PSM is still attached with network but the signals of eNB can not reach

until it wakes up automatically. The deep sleep mode substantially reduces power

consumption.

b) eDRX is a new feature released in 3GPP Rel. 13, which extends the sleep cycle of the

terminal in idle mode to reduce the unnecessary start-up of the Rx units. It improves

the reachability of downlink greatly compared with PSM.

LPWA Advantages – Massive Connection

It is ideal to have about 50,000 devices per cell; this is possible assuming that the

household density is 1500 households per square kilometer, and there are 40 devices in

every household.

LPWA Advantages – Low Cost

▪ Half duplex (HD) operation

▪ Single receiving antenna

▪ Decreased peak rate

▪ Reduced device bandwidth: as low as

180kHz in downlink and uplink

▪ Lessened memory requirements (500kByte)

MMMB: Multiple Mode Multiple Band

BB: Base Band

MB: Multiple Band

PMU: Power Management Unit

PA: Power Amplifier

Low Device Cost Low Deployment Cost

Reusing LTE for NB-IoT takes advantage of

existing technology as well as the installed

system base. It is possible to reuse the same

hardware and share spectrum by making NB-

IoT compatible with LTE, without running into

coexistence.
