Study on known models of NB-IoT Applications in Iraqi environments

Abstract

Abstract Internet of things (IoT) considerably changes connectivity requirements, in particular concerning longer battery life, lower device costs, lower deployment costs, increased support and coverage for a lot of devices. Starting from those necessities, numerous various cellular and non-cellular low power WAN which could be abbreviated to (LPWAN) solutions emerged lately and are challenging for business related to IoT and the general market of connectivity. Therefore, in this study, Narrowband IoT main characteristics are explained, as well as, the suitability for different IoT applications in smart cities industry. The Narrowband IoT, which could be abbreviated to (NB-IoT), is known as a LPWAN technology of radio criterion which was presented for enabling the connections of various services and devices with the use of cellular tele-communication bands. NB-IoT can be defined as a narrow band radio technology that was created for internet of things (IoT) which is considered as a wide area of Mobile internet of things (MIoT) techniques which were published as a standard through 3GPP (third Generation Partnership Project), applications for NB-IoT could be very wide range and different topics, within this paper suggested NB-IoT applicable models for application in Iraqi environment to solve many problems (Smart white goods, Smart logistics, Smart electricity metering and Smart street lighting). These models based on NB-IoT technologies which are not yet provided by communications providers in Iraq (zain, Asia, korek).
