Chapter 15: MulteFire Alliance IoT technologies
Abstract
In this chapter, we describe how the MulteFire Alliance have adapted LTE-M and NB-IoT to support operation in unlicensed frequency bands according to FCC and ETSI regulations. The physical layer design as well as the procedures performed in idle and connected mode are presented for both technologies. The MulteFire design closely follows the 3GPP design, and the description is focused on the adaptations introduced to facilitate operation in unlicensed frequency bands. The chapter also presents the technical potential of the technologies in terms of the performance that can be expected when deploying these technologies.
