- Advancing European Leadership in 5G Advanced IoT for Non-Terrestrial Networks through 3GPP RAN WG2
5G and Beyond (6G)
Standardizing the Internet of Things (IoT) Non-Terrestrial Network in the 3rd Generation Partnership Project by decreasing the power consumption to maintain mobile connectivity will allow new IoT use cases. Therefore, European SMEs can increase their competitiveness by supporting mobile connectivity for applications or devices with stringent low-power requirements, such as agriculture or energy/water management.
The proposed study under my fellowship can decrease the power consumption of user equipment and base stations. Energy price and availability are some of the most critical topics in Europe. Low-power IoT devices with non-terrestrial network connectivity have applications that may benefit society, such as sensors for agriculture, environmental monitoring, and energy/water management in rural areas.
Value of Research
As part of Release 19, the new IoT NTN work item aims to bridge existing gaps in uplink transmission and store & forward mechanisms, enhancing the integration of IoT into Non-Terrestrial Networks.
