Power Consumption Analysis of NB-IoT and eMTC in Challenging Smart City Environments
techniques as well as repetitions to extend the communication range, the analysis reveals a different performance in the context of data size, rate and coupling loss. While eMTC comes with a 4% better battery [...] the 5G IoT requirements. In this paper, the performance of NB-IoT and eMTC is evaluated. Therefore, data rate, power consumption, latency and spectral efficiency are examined in different coverage conditions [...] battery lifetime raises to 18% better performance in 164 dB coupling loss scenarios. The overall analysis shows that in coverage areas with a coupling loss of 155 dB or less, eMTC performs better, but requires …
