Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) is indeed the significant move forward which connect our everyday household items to the cloud. 3GPP launched the narrowband-IoT (NB-IoT) feature in LTE release 13 to offer IoT devices the same mobility and network efficiency that today's cell phones enjoy. This new design utilizes a limited subset of the current LTE band to manage IoT-device traffic, allowing more connected units per frequency band and to minimize its power consumption. In this paper narrowband-IoT is implemented in standalone mode of operation by configuring NB-IoT cells with suitable radio and system modules. With the help of NB-IoT supported UE, a testbed is developed to verify the implementation of NB-IoT feature. The UE is allowed to latch to the configured cell and the corresponding logs are collected and compared with the theoretical logs to verify the attach procedure. Also, performance analysis is carried out by capturing the throughput as well as the coverage level by performing data transfer using Iperf tool in order to verify the 3GPP specification for NB-IoT.
