IoT capacity impacts
› CAT-M1
– The eNB upper limit of connected users is
shared between legacy (LTE) and Cat-M1
users
– Amount of radio resources allowed for use by
Cat-M1 users upper limited in MI17
› Maximum one narrowband (6 PRBs)
› NB-IoT
– Each NB-IoT carrier consumes one cell capacity
› For BB5216 optimization planned in MI17Q2
› Later optimization also for BB5212 in MI17Q4
– One NB-IoT carrier per LTE cell supported in MI17
› Min 5MHz LTE bandwidth
› Only FDD
– The eNB upper limit of connected users is shared
between legacy (LTE) and NB-IoT users
– Mixed Mode Radio configuration rules applies (only
for NB IoT stand alone)
Traffic example
3GPP NB-IoT traffic Model
› Scenario
– 40 devices per household
– London household density
› about 1500 households per km2
– 100% operator market share
