With the current increase in machine to machine communications or IoT, the 3GPP technologies have been enhanced to support this new type of data transfer. This course focuses on the 4G or LTE network and the various modifications which have been introduced in Release 12, 13 and 14. These include new network infrastructure, modified air interfaces (NB-IoT / LTE-M) not to mention support for NIDD or Non IP Data Delivery. Various network optimizations will also be addressed along with new procedures dealing with network monitoring. Finally, mobility will be reviewed before culminating with a brief look at how Cellular IoT interworks with legacy 2G and 3G networks.
