A Primer on 3GPP Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT)

TLDR
In this article, the air interface of NB-IoT is discussed and the various design rationales during the standardization of NBIoTs in Release 13 and point out several open areas for future evolution.
Abstract
Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is a new cellular technology introduced in 3GPP Release 13 for providing wide-area coverage for the Internet of Things (IoT). This article provides an overview of the air interface of NB-IoT. We describe how NB-IoT addresses key IoT requirements such as deployment flexibility, low device complexity, long battery life time, support of massive number of devices in a cell, and significant coverage extension beyond existing cellular technologies. We also share the various design rationales during the standardization of NB-IoT in Release 13 and point out several open areas for future evolution of NB-IoT.
