On the Analysis of NB-IoT in the Context of Monitoring Services

Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is generally used for transmission of small messages from sensing device to a designated IoT server. Further, the designated server takes decision and accordingly send messages to necessary devices for some designated activity. Various communication architectures can be used for the data delivery from the sensor nodes to the IoT server. In this work, we analytically find the delay to send NB-IoT data considering two communication architectures using Service Capability Exposure Function (SCEF) node in the context of LTE-A core network.
