Researchers at the department of Communications and Networking, School of Electrical Engineering, have implemented successfully a prototype for Narrowband Internet-of-Things system. This is a narrowband version of LTE (Long Term Evolution) system targeting machine-type communications applications with low data rate that requires low module cost, long battery life time and increased coverage.
Researchers have been developing the NB-IoT system with software-defined radio system implemented in the department. This implementation is for the physical layer of the GSM carrier version of NB-IoT. This is among the first NB-IoT standalone mode implementations.
