Beyond the technologies, readers will learn what the mMTC and cMTC market segments look like, deployment options and expected performance in terms of system capacity, expected battery lifetime, data throughput, access delay time and device cost, regulations for operation in unlicensed frequency bands, and how they impact system design and performance.
This new edition contains updated content on the latest EC-GSM IoT, LTE-M and NB-IoT features in 3GPP Release 15, critical communication, i.e. URLLC, specified in 3GPP Release 15 for both LTE and NR, LTE-M and NB-IoT for unlicensed frequency bands specified in the Multefire Alliance (MFA), and an updated outlook of what the future holds in Industrial IoT and drone communications, amongst other topics.
- Provides ubiquitous wireless connectivity for a diverse range of services and applications, describing their performance and how their specifications were developed to meet the most demanding requirements
- Describes licensed and unlicensed technologies based on 2G, 4G and 5G technologies and how they have evolved towards the Cellular IoT
- Presents the Narrowband Internet of Things technology and how GSM, LTE and NR have been designed to provide Cellular Internet of Things services
- Provides use cases that cover ultra-low complex systems connecting billions of devices (massive MTC, mMTC), critical MTC and cMTC based on Ultra-Reliable and Low Latency Communications (URLLC) to meet strict latency and reliability requirements

Olof Liberg
Olof Liberg is a Line and Program Manager at Ericsson’s department for Standards & Technologies. Olof joined Ericsson in 2008 and has specialized in the design and standardization of cellular radio access technologies. He is currently leading a team focused on radio and spectrum standardization and Ericsson’s 3GPP radio access network standardization program. Olof holds a Bachelor’s degree in Business and Economics and a Master’s degree in Engineering Physics, both from Uppsala University. He has actively participated in the work of several standardization bodies, such as 3GPP, ITU-R, and ETSI. He was the Chairman of 3GPP TSG GERAN and its Working Group 1, during the 3GPP study on new radio-access technologies for the Internet of Things leading up to the specification of Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT). Olof is one of the authors behind the first and second edition of the book Cellular Internet of Things (Elsevier) and has coauthored several academic publications and contributed to more than 100 US patents.
