Coverage and Deployment Analysis of Narrowband Internet of Things in the Wild
Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is gaining momentum as a promising
technology for massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC). Given that its
deployment is rapidly progressing worldwide, measurement campaigns and
performance analyses are needed to better understand the system and move toward
its enhancement. With this aim, this paper presents a large scale measurement
campaign and empirical analysis of NB-IoT on operational networks, and
discloses valuable insights in terms of deployment strategies and radio
coverage performance. The reported results also serve as examples showing the
potential usage of the collected dataset, which we make open-source along with
a lightweight data visualization platform.Comment: Accepted for publication in IEEE Communications Magazine (Internet of
