Estudio y análisis de tecnologías habilitadoras 5G y sus factibilidades para el desarrollo del Internet de las cosas.

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) is a promising technology that tends to revolutionize and connect the world through heterogeneous intelligent devices through fluid connectivity. The current demand for Machine-Type Communications (MTC) has resulted in a variety of communication technologies with service requirements to achieve the modern vision of IoT. Newer versions, such as Long-Term Evolution (LTE) for mobile devices, are not suitable for low-power, low-data-rate devices, such as IoT devices. To address this, there are a number of emerging IoT standards. The fifth generation (5G) mobile network, in particular, aims to address the limitations of previous cellular standards and to be a potential key enabler for the future IoT. In this document, the requirements of the IOT application are studied together with its communication technologies. In addition, the LowPower Wide Area (LPWA) solutions are analyzed in detail, on which the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) telephones are based to support and enable the new service requirements for Massive to Critical IoT use cases. Massive machine type communications (mMTC) and Narrowband-Internet of Things (NB-IoT). In addition, the 5G New Radio (NR) enhancements are introduced for new service requirements and enabling technologies for the IoT. This document presents a comprehensive review related to emerging and enabling technologies with a primary focus on 5G mobile networks that is planned to support the exponential growth of traffic to enable the IoT.
