Reliability Optimization in Narrowband Device-to-Device Communication for 5G and Beyond-5G Networks

The 5G and beyond-5G (B5G) is expected to be a key enabler for Internet-of-Everything (IoE). The narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is a low-power wide-area enabling technology introduced by the 3<sup>rd</sup> Generation Partnership in 5G. The objective of the NB-IoT is to enhance th...

Reliability Optimization in Narrowband Device-to-Device Communication for 5G and Beyond-5G Networks
description The 5G and beyond-5G (B5G) is expected to be a key enabler for Internet-of-Everything (IoE). The narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is a low-power wide-area enabling technology introduced by the 3<sup>rd</sup> Generation Partnership in 5G. The objective of the NB-IoT is to enhance the mobile coverage area by increasing the number of repetitions of control and data packets between user equipment (UE) and the base station/evolved NodeB (BS/eNB). While these repetitions improve data delivery for delay-sensitive applications, they degrade the efficiency of the already resource-constrained IoT system by increasing the system overhead and energy consumption. Moreover, NB-IoT devices in the edge region of the cellular coverage area require more repetitions, which augment energy consumption. In this study, we investigate device-to-device (D2D) communication for NB-IoT delay-sensitive applications, such as healthcare-IoT services, to use two-hop communication instead of using a direct uplink.
