Development of Narrow Band Internet of Things Testbed for Proximity Services
Journal Title: International Journal of Innovations in Science and Technology - Year 2024, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
With the evolution of Internet of Things (IoT), Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) emerged to provide IoT connectivity using existing cellular network utilizing limited resources but with increased possibility of outage at the cell-edge. In this wok, we developed a testbed for NB-IoT systems to implement innovative idea of enabling proximity service for NB-IoT so that devices beyond the coverage area of eNodeB may transmit their data using a network relay. The testbed is developed using a software defined radio working as eNodeB that wirelessly connects to the NB-IoT node at the frontend and to the Evolved Packet Core (EPC) at the backend. The EPC is implemented on a Linux machine using open-source software packages whereas NB-IoT node is implemented using commercially available devices. In this paper, we report the results of this deployment indicating that the NB-IoT device is properly connecting and communicating with the eNodeB. The session logs presented in the paper indicate that the EPC successfully initiates the session and authenticate the user equipment (UE). Furthermore, the eNodeB also establishes a successful connection with the UE based on the parameters set by the EPC. The Wireshark traces presented in the paper clearly indicate that the UE has got the capability to transmit data to the server through internet connection. The average latency observed is 40 ms. Through this work, the benefits of proximity services are being explored for NB-IoT networks providing a platform for experimental testing and prototyping.
