Abstract

A key criterion for Narrow-band Internet of Things (NB-IoT) technology to be an alternative to Sigfox and Long Range (LoRa) technologies is having a device lifespan of ten years (extremely energy-constrained applications, such as sensor-to-cloud data transfer, demand such requirement). Therefore, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has introduced several power-saving mechanisms in the technical specifications to improve energy efficiency while the device is inactive. In addition to these enhancements, and in order to further optimize energy consumption, a comprehensive measurement study was conducted. The study identified the significant impact of NB-IoT transmit power level and the number of independent transmissions (hereafter telegrams) sent per day on the device’s overall lifespan. It has been identified that optimizing these two parameters through the proposed recommendation can enhance the battery lifetime.
