Chapter 3: EC-GSM-IoT

Abstract

This chapter presents the design of Extended Coverage Global System for Mobile Communications Internet of Things (EC-GSM-IoT). The initial section describes the background of the GSM radio access technology, highlighting the suitability of an evolved GSM design to support the Cellular IoT (CIoT) core requirements, which includes ubiquitous coverage, ultra-low-device cost, and energy efficient device operation. The following sections builds from the ground up, starting with the physical layer, going through fundamental design choices such as frame structure, modulation, and channel coding. After the physical layer is covered, the basic procedures for support of full system operation are covered, including, for ...
