Massive machine-type communication (mMTC) and ultra-reliable and low-latency
communication (URLLC) are two key service types in the fifth-generation (5G) …

3GPP has recently introduced NB-IoT, a new mobile communication standard offering a
robust and energy-efficient connectivity option to the rapidly expanding market of the Internet …

Billions of gadgets are already online, making the IoT an essential aspect of daily life.
However, the interconnected nature of IoT devices also leaves them open to cyber threats …

This paper presents a detailed study of uplink scheduling in narrowband internet of things
(NB-IoT) networks. As NB-IoT devices need a long battery lifetime, we aim to maximize …

The third-generation partnership project (3GPP) has defined a new radio access network
protocol, called the narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT). To accommodate devices with …

We address the issue of maximizing the number of connected devices in a Narrowband
Internet-of-Things (NB-IoT) network using nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) in the …

The efficient and simpler version of Internet of things (IoT) is Narrowband Internet of Things
(NB-IoT). It is a low power wide area network (LPWAN) technology standardized by Third …

Recent growth in the Internet of Things (IoT) has been remarkable. Among the solutions to
accommodate such a growth is Cellular IoT (C-IoT), comprising a group of technologies …

This paper studies the uplink resource allocation problem in NB-IoT networks. We aim to
maximize the network's energy efficiency to serve devices in need for long battery lifetime …

This paper provides a detailed investigation on the performance of Narrowband IoT link
adaptation under different approaches: Max-Rate approach, Min-Energy approach and the …
