Chapter 6: LTE-M performance
Abstract
This chapter presents LTE-M performance in terms of coverage, data rate, latency, and system capacity based on the functionality described in Chapter 5. The presented performance evaluations are largely following the International Mobile Telecommunication 2020 (IMT-2020) and 5G evaluation frame work defined by the International Telecommunications Union Radiocommunication sector (ITU-R) and 3GPP, respectively. It is shown that LTE-M in all aspects meets the massive machine-type communications (mMTC) part of the requirements defined by ITU-R and 3GPP. The reduction in device complexity achieved by LTE-M compared to higher LTE device categories is also presented. While LTE-M has been specified for half-duplex ...
