Tiivistelmä
The market for low power devices is on the rise, as we move towards a more autonomous
world by the day. A new type of wireless technology, Low Power Wide
Area (LPWA), has been developed to ensure a longer battery lifetime combined
with longer range. The increased interest in LPWA devices, which mostly consist
of different types of sensors, leads to an increased amount of devices deployed on
the eld. The use of LPWA will allow for tens of thousands of sensors to connect
to a single base station. There are two types of LPWA technologies available,
those based on cellular technology and others that use proprietary technologies.
The focus of the thesis will be on NarrowBand-IoT (NB-IoT), as well as LTE
Cat M1 (enhanced Machine-Type Communication (eMTC)) and their respective
energy consumption. Both technologies are standardized by the 3rd Generation
Partnership Project (3GPP) and are based on Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology.
The beginning of the thesis will give an overview of Internet Of Things (IoT),
energy consumption in computer systems and LPWA networks in general. In the
last chapters, an experiment is done on the energy consumption of both NB-IoT
and eMTC, together with the power saving features Power Saving Mode (PSM)
and extended Discontinuous Reception (eDRX).
